Some Speech

President Bush last night came on national television to explain to us his solution to the illegal immigration problem.
I am not going to get into the details of it. Or debate it. Or give my opinion on what we should do.

I'm just going to rip him.

Here's the cold hard facts of our American President's proposal.

"He law signed by President Bush less than two months ago to add thousands of border patrol agents along the U.S.-Mexico border has crashed into the reality of Bush's austere federal budget proposal, officials said Tuesday.

Officially approved by Bush on Dec. 17 after extensive bickering in Congress, the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006. Roughly 80 percent of the agents were to patrol the southern U.S. border from Texas to California, along which thousands of people cross into the United States illegally every year.

But Bush's proposed 2006 budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents."

What you saw last night was political grandstanding. Poll numbers in some cases below 30%. His base of loyal morals and values Christian voters jumping ship. Midterm elections that will show how peeved off the other majortity is.

Even his own party in JANUARY stated his budget, his 210 troops, was pathetic. "

A Jan. 24 letter signed by leading Republican lawmakers implored the president to fully fund the new law "in order to secure our borders against infiltration by terrorists."

The lead signer was Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a leader of GOP efforts to toughen immigration laws and anti-terrorism statutes."


Democrats and progressives are all up in arms about this. Maybe for different reasons to illegal immigration, but in common over this President's continuous MISLEADING (see LYING) to the American people.

I'm done here.

65% OK with Spying?

Ha, not so fast my friends.

Here's why that Washington Post poll put out on May 11th is not worth its findings in beans. Lima Beans.

1- It was conducted the day of the leak by the USA Today about the NSA's database. Any good pollster would tell you the numbers dont talk for atleast a few days.
2- WaPo polled 502 people! Thats it. Less than half it woudl require for a legitmate scienific poll to be accepted anywhere in academia.
3- There is a plethoa of online questioning and skeptism on it. Check it out everywhere :

Power Line
OpEd News
Not to mention DailyKos or BlueNC.org

and 4- Newsweek and MSNBC polled Americans over the weekend, mind you not that too far removed as I like to see, and found " 53 percent of Americans think the NSA’s surveillance program “goes too far in invading people’s privacy".
"57 percent said that in light of the NSA data-mining news and other executive actions, the Bush-Cheney Administration has “gone too far in expanding presidential power.”

There you go Red America. Your mandate. 1,007 adults polled. Atleast one day after the story broke, about exactly what the Government was doing.

Let the fireworks begin.

Big Brother, Oh Brother.

Wake up people.

Seriously and now.

The USA Today is reporting findings that the National Security Agency, or to government workers the No Such Agency, is tracking millions of Americans phone calls into a national database. Is it intending to track only AlQueda and its members, however the net is being cast as wide as the nation itself.

Corporate America has been selling us out since good ole 9/11...
"AT&T Corp., Verizon Communications Inc., and BellSouth Corp. telephone companies began turning over records of tens of millions of their customers' phone calls to the National Security Agency program shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, said USA Today, citing anonymous sources it said had direct knowledge of the arrangement."

"The NSA program reaches into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans most of whom aren't suspected of any crime. This program does not involve the NSA listening to or recording conversations. But the spy agency is using the data to analyze calling patterns in an effort to detect terrorist activity, sources said in separate interviews."

My question is, HOW CAN YOU TRUST THAT STATEMENT? If we were already being lied to once about warrantless phone tapping, what makes you believe all this is just numbers and charts?

As a American with the basic grasp of freedom of liberty, you have to wonder what the fuck is going on.

The President, in his INFINITE wisdom, has not confirmed the work of the NSA to collect every phone call made in the US to a database, "but sought to assure Americans that their privacy is being "fiercely protected.""


What do we do now America? Get off your ass and write your Senators and Congressmen. Demand some answers. And you can do it all from the "privacy" of your own home.
