War on Terror

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York on 11 Sept 2001, and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London, and in downtown Manhattan, and in a field in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11 and 7/7.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to the bank:

I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, believe me!! You guessed it…

I don't care!!

Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The British Soldier

3. The Canadian Soldier.

4. The US Soldier

5. The Australian Soldier

One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom"

Open Borders

The liberals always jump to conclusions anytime there is a problem. For example, the Times Square bomber that was stopped this week, the Democratic NYC Mayor Bloomberg suggested that it was “probably some right wing nut job that was unhappy with the health care bill” Why would he suggest this?

There has been no reported incident of violence by any conservative, tea party member or for that matter a republican, but the liberals are trying to show tea party members as Timothy McVeigh wannbes.

This is the third attack in a year on our soil. We had the underwear bomber in Detroit, the massacre at Ft. Hood Texas and now this foiled attempt in New York which by the way was thwarted by a newspaper stand vendor, but of course Janet Napolitano took full credit for the capture. Napolitano was of course the one that stated, “the system worked” when the Detroit bomber was captured by passengers after his bomb material failed to ignite.
How can she say, “the system worked” when the system had nothing to do with the detection or capture of this terrorist.

No one in the Obama administration will call these what they are; a terrorist attack. They don’t want to step on any toes in the Muslim world.

They will however call the people of Arizona “racists” for having the guts to enforce the laws that the federal government will not. These are laws already on the books yet the federal government will not enforce them.

The high cost of cheap labor is destroying our country.

According to the Center on Immigration Studies, households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.
Among the largest costs are Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion).

Legalization (Amnesty) would increase average tax payments by 77 percent, but average costs would rise by 118 percent.

The Center did two simulations of immigration reform and found that in both cases the deficit left by each illegal household would be -$6,022 and -$7,668 It’s a no win situation. Granting amnesty will not alleviate the problem.

Leaving our borders wide open will however lead to many more attacks on American soil and will certainly kill more people. We need to treat these foiled bombers as if the bombs had gone off and we need to secure our borders now.
