I think this would be the best way.
The first thing we need to do is stop treating the minute men as a dirty little secret. We need to start publicly rewarding them as the great patriots they are. Next we build a fence-one that works; not some flimsy chain link job. Then over the next few decades we slowly but surely start deporting illegals, their children, and their childrens children. In a relatively short time American would be free of that malignant disease called illegal immagration.
What do you think?

Today it is reported that Randal D. "Randy" Ankeney, who was a rising GOP star in Colorado, (and named his dogs Reagan and Nixon) is being held on a $1 million bond in Larimer County.

Ankeney, 35, who was arrested Wednesday, is facing five counts of sexual assault on a child, three counts of sexual enticement of a child and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. The felonies, if he is convicted, could send him to prison for life.

"The charges come less than 15 months after the former attorney, head of Gov. Bill Owens economic development office in Colorado Springs and graduate of the Republican Leadership Program, was released from prison after serving a two-year sentence for attempted sexual assault on a child." coloradoconfidential.com

The Democratic Leadership was not informed of (R-Fl) Mark Foley's sex e-mails to a teen either although Republican leadership knew for a year, they learned. Should Republicans disclose its pedophiles across party lines sooner?

Ok i will get to my question in a moment i just want to explain my ground and what i believe. I do not believe in voting for a paticular party because one is republican and one is democrat. However I have voted the majority time for the republican. I do not believe bush is as bad as people put it but i do believe he is not near one of the greatest we have had. My problem and part of my question in a way is how can i vote for the democratic party? I vote republican most of the time because it seems that republicans are willing to make a step or try to make a step. Sometimes there steps take us back in the wrong direction, but at least they have effort in going trying to go forward. My problem with democratic is that i hardly see any movement. They seem to sit on things. For instense KERRY i didnt see a single reason for voting for him. He just bashed never really had his own plan. This seems to be a trend because i see many democrats still doing this. MY question to you

Bush Given Authority To Sexually Torture American Children
The "horror of the shrieking boys" gets a rubber stamp from the boot-licking U.S. Congress & Senate as America officially becomes a dictatorship

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | September 29 2006

Slamming the final nail in the coffin of everything America used to stand for, the boot-licking U.S. Senate last night gave President Bush the legal authority to abduct and sexually mutilate American citizens and American children in the name of the war on terror.

There is nothing in the "detainee" legislation that protects American citizens from being kidnapped by their own government and tortured.

Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman states in the L.A. Times, "The compromise legislation....authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights."

Similarly, law Professor Marty Lederman explains: "this [subsection (ii) of the definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the Pentagon says you're an unlawful enemy combatant -- using whatever criteria they wish -- then as far as Congress, and U.S. law, is concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection to 'hostilities' at all."

We have established that the bill allows the President to define American citizens as enemy combatants. Now let's take it one step further.

Before this article is dismissed as another extremist hyperbolic rant, please take a few minutes out of your day to check for yourself the claim that Bush now has not only the legal authority but the active blessings of his own advisors to torture American children.

The backdrop of the Bush administration's push to obliterate the Geneva Conventions was encapsulated b y John “torture” Yoo, professor of law at Berkeley, co-author of the PATRIOT Act, author of torture memos and White House advisor.

During a December 1st debate in Chicago with Notre Dame professor and international human rights scholar Doug Cassel, John Yoo gave the green light for the scope of torture to legally include sexual torture of infants.

Cassel: If the president deems that he's got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person's child, there is no law that can stop him?

Yoo: No treaty.

Cassel: Also no law by Congress — that is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo…

Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.

Click here for the audio.

So if the President thinks he needs to order children's penises to be put in vices, there is no law that can stop him and after last night's vote, the Senate and Congress, exemplified by sicko 16-year-old boy groomer Mark Foley (R-FL) , has graciously provided Bush its full support for kids around the world to be molested in the name of stopping terror.

Yoo's comments were made before the passage of the torture legislation last night. Up until that point Bush had merely cited his role as dictator-in-chief as carte-blanche excuse for ordering torture - now his regime have the audacity to openly put it in writing - going one step further than even the Nazis did.

Again, for those who are still deluded into thinking the extent of the "pressure" is loud music and cold water being thrown over Johnny Jihad in Ragheadistan, consider for a moment the fact that your own Congress and President who, according to the Constitution, are mandated to serve you, have just legalized abducting your kids from your home and electric shocking their genitals.

Now that the criminals have declared themselves outside of the law does that mean we'll see Bush barbecuing babies on the White House lawn? Of course not, but the policy of torturing children in front of their parents has already been signed off on by the Pentagon and enacted under the Copper Green program and it happened at Abu Ghraib .

Women who were arrested with their children were forced to watch their boys being sodomized with chemical glow sticks as the cameras rolled. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh says that the U.S. government is still withholding the tapes because of the horror of the "soundtrack of the shrieking boys" and their mothers begging to be killed in favor of seeing their children raped and tortured.

Your government has just lobbied for and Congress has passed legislation to discard the Geneva Conventions and mandate all this.

Pedophiles nationwide should rejoice - they can comfortably take a stroll down to the local swimming pool, grab whoever they like, drag them home, rape and torture them, and then in their defense cite the U.S. government as an example of how one should conduct themselves.



The bill also retroactively gives Bush, the Neo-Cons or any of their henchmen immunity from war crimes charges dating back to September 11 . Ask yourself why they would be so careful to protect themselves from accusations of war crimes.

Could that possibly be because they are knowingly committing war crimes?

The legislating of torture itself should be a criminal act. All laws that contradict the U.S. Constitution are null and void. It was once a law that black people were slaves.

Only by engaging in civil disobedience and refusing to tolerate or acknowledge the laws of a criminal regime that has greased the skids for sexually torturing kids can we ever have a hope of returning America to its past glory.

temporary basis. I understand congress is reluctant to grant extreme powers to a president because the next president, from an opposing party might use those powers in a way that congress did not intend? Does the fact that Bush is being granted powers that are being written into law mean that there will never be another president from an opposing party?

They are always saying that we are like Nazis. Well since they like to live down memory lane then why are they still calling us racist? They were the main slave holders in the South during the Civil War and the members of the KKK. They killed African Americans and the Republicans trying to get them their rights. How is that not racist?

He's from the Selfridge Air Base in Michigan and this so called proud soldier was telling everyone how much fun it was to shoot and kill people in Iraq. He said he like to see them jump when the bullets hit the victim ( In this case a ten year old boy who would grow up to be a terrorist as he explained how he shot the kid ) I ask him..."When you get out of the military what will you do?". He replied "I will be a cop....they are proud of me for killing the enemy". Then he told me all of the republicans are very proud of him. Even Republican Foley.

e.g. get out of iraq

The terrorists just want the west to leave them alone. So if the west did that, there would be no reason for the terrorists to commit terrorist acts.

Galloway vs. The US Senate: Transcript of Statement
"Now, Senator, I gave my heart and soul to oppose the policy that you promoted. I gave my political life's blood to try to stop the mass killing of Iraqis by the sanctions on Iraq which killed one million Iraqis, most of them children, most of them died before they even knew that they were Iraqis, but they died for no other reason other than that they were Iraqis with the misfortune to born at that time. I gave my heart and soul to stop you committing the disaster that you did commit in invading Iraq. And I told the world that your case for the war was a pack of lies.

“I told the world that Iraq, contrary to your claims did not have weapons of mass destruction. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to al-Qaeda. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to the atrocity on 9/11 2001. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that the Iraqi people would resist a British and American invasion of their country and that the fall of Baghdad would not be the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning.

"Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.

If the world had listened to Kofi Annan, whose dismissal you demanded, if the world had listened to President Chirac who you want to paint as some kind of corrupt traitor, if the world had listened to me and the anti-war movement in Britain, we would not be in the disaster that we are in today. Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth.

"Have a look at the real Oil-for-Food scandal. Have a look at the 14 months you were in charge of Baghdad, the first 14 months when $8.8 billion of Iraq's wealth went missing on your watch. Have a look at Halliburton and other American corporations that stole not only Iraq's money, but the money of the American taxpayer.

"Have a look at the oil that you didn't even meter, that you were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where? Have a look at the $800 million you gave to American military commanders to hand out around the country without even counting it or weighing it.

"Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the earlier testimony in this committee. That the biggest sanctions busters were not me or Russian politicians or French politicians. The real sanctions busters were your own companies with the connivance of your own Government."

Was in court friday for a guy facing 10 - 40 years for delivery of Meth and MJ. For some reason instead of acting repentant he came off like a total butthead. Judge maxed him, he had been looking at diverting him to a drug court (max 180 days and rehab at state expense) cause it was a first offense. Now this idiot has to do 75% of his sentence before he can even see daylight.
Why don't you crims just shut up, look sad and hope for mercy?

There is a way to silence Satan's laughter. All we have to do is put photojournalists around each and every abortion clinic in this nation on Saturday, and Satan will immediately begin to lose his source of humor.

Think about it: What if every person in the country who was considering killing their baby knew for a fact that if they went to the abortion clinic on Saturday to kill their baby, every person in the world with an Internet connection could see their picture--closeup and personal? Think Satan would grin about that? Think Satan would be pleased to see the day on which he was accustomed to receiving the vast majority of human sacrifices become obstructed by people exposing the aborting mothers to the world?
