First we find out that the war is creating more Islamic extremists and that scandals like Abu Grahib is helping the terrorists in their recruiting efforts. Now pretty soon we're going to find out that we're actually training them.

So now what?

The Mexican Government is invading the USA by using an unarmed technique. The Mexicans are coming into the USA and taking over towns. They are illegally registering to vote (knowing that the government will not prosecute or even really investigate voter fraud). They are helping to elect pro-amnesty politicians who will legitimize their status.

Then these amnestized aliens will then elect politicans that will vote for the North American Union.

All without significantly firing a shot.

Except for the fact it is my country that is being conquered, it is kind of a neat way to do it!

PALESTINIANS FORCED TO LEAVE HOMES IN CENTRAL HEBRON: STUDY - TOP
Aron Heller, Associated Press, 5/14/07
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/world/4801032.html

More than 40 percent of Palestinians living in the center of the West Bank city of Hebron, under Israeli control, have been forced to leave their homes, and more than 75 percent of their shops have shut down, according to a survey released Monday by two Israeli human rights groups.

B'Tselem and The Association for Civil Rights in Israel said the exit of Palestinians from the center of Hebron resulted from Israel's policy of separation between Jews and Arabs and hardships imposed on the local Palestinian population.

Hebron is believed by Jews and Muslims to be the site where biblical patriarchs were buried and is a frequent flashpoint. Israel controls the center, where about 500 settlers live in heavily guarded enclaves among about 160,000 Palestinians. The Palestinians control the rest of the city.

The survey showed that at least 1,014 Palestinian housing units, which account for 41.9 percent of those in the area, are empty. Of these, 65 percent were vacated during the course of the second Palestinian uprising, which began in 2000.

B'Tselem spokeswoman Sarit Michaeli said the Palestinians were essentially forced to move because the army imposed strict limitations on their movement and livelihoods. She said by giving preference to the needs of the settlers and creating a separation based on ethnicity, the army has created a "ghost town" in central Hebron.

Considering that congress' approval is lower than Bush's
At least, that's what Gallup is reporting.

What's more, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll, a solid majority of Americans oppose cutting and running in Iraq before the country is stabilized.

Both findings lend credence to the suspicion that the Democrats have misinterpreted their supposed mandate of 2006. They say the public was telling them to end the war, essentially at any cost; it doesn't appear that that's the case.

When I went to talk to the teacher she said kids think they can get away with stuff because they are "white."I asked her what does race have to do with a academic atmosphere? To her embarrasment she got very defensive to find out my husband is "black"and he has two mixed sisters,she then started telling me how she is sick of my son acting like a girl in his class and telling every one he is gay. Is this racial and sexual orientation discrimination?

I got the link from Fox so you conservatives will dare look. I'm actually suprised Fox even carried that news.

So, Ashcroft is in the hospital after surgery, and Al "I can't remember anything" Gonzales shows up to pressure him on the wiretap law. He probably tried to get the doctors to slip Ashcroft some sodium pentathol also.

This isn't the America I know anymore.

Damn, this just pisses me off. Sorry.

There's a story in The Washington Post about the hostage-taking of American soldiers in Iraq by Al Qaeda, and what is going to be their unhappy fate. In that story, where you might say it was buried, was this quote from Mohamad al-Janabi, who The Washington Post said is "a reputed Al Qaeda member in the city of Salman Pak." The Washington Post interviewed him by telephone and he said this: "I can assure you that we will start pressuring Bush in a new way at the same time he is facing pressures from the Democrats and the American people." So now we've got an Al Qaeda guy saying he's going to take Americans prisoner and torture them, and maybe kill them, and it will be a "pressure tactic" on George W. Bush that Al Qaeda says is in sync with Democrats in Congress. Last November Nancy Pelosi said it was sad that George W. Bush keeps blaming problems in Iraq on Al Qaeda. In debates we hear Dems occasionally say we have to fight Al Qaeda, as if that's not happening in Iraq

Here are a few examples:

*Mexican consuls denounce any U.S. law enforcement effort against illegal immigration as biased and inhumane. In one instance after a family was deported back to Mexico, San Diego Consul General Rudolfo Figueroa said, “We feel outraged over the way [the arrest] was handled. This was an act of bad faith.”

*After a police chief in Boston charged a Mexican illegal for criminal trespass—for being in a place without legal authority, Mexican officials went berserk and the Mexican government paid for the defendants’ legal representation. Boston consul general Porfirio Thierry Muñoz Ledo declared the trial “legally invalid, discriminatory and a violation of human rights.”

*In July, the Mexican consul general in New York City, Arturo Sarukhan, lambasted Suffolk County, Long Island, officials for evicting over a hundred illegal aliens whose dangerously overcrowded housing violated fire and safety codes.
