No Amnesty for you.... yet.

At the risk of being called a hater a hate monger or as Geraldo would say a Cheerleader of hate. I am glad the Amnesty bill is dead. The problem is that things like this don't really die, they just sneak it in with other legislation. The thing we need to do is to secure our borders, make being here illegally not worth it. Build the fence that is currently mandated by law and funded, but not being built, next stop giving welfare and any assistance other than medical in times of emergency, also don't make it a automatic thing to be a citizen when you're born here, I know this seems mean, but really if I was illegally in pretty much any other country, would they consider my child if born while I'm there a citizen? Prosecute and fine those that hire illegal aliens. Seize funds being sent to Mexico that can't be proven legitimate. After this is done, we can discuss a plan to improve immigration, but EVERYONE would have to start from scratch. Yes the 12 million + illegals once the pressure was put on would head back home... there is more important things than just stopping Mexicans or whomever trying to get here to live and work and send money back to families... Secure the border to hopefully stop or hinder those trying to get here for purposes of terrorism. That's how I see it and I can't tell you how disappointed I am by Bush and those in Congress that just don't get it, or maybe it's they WONT get it.

Probably a good idea.

Talk Radio Crisis!!!!!

There is a new crisis rising in the nation, well maybe it's not new, I've heard the complaint for a while, but it seems to be a hot topic right now. Talk Radio is too conservative. Lets just see, why would this be, I know it must be a massive conservative rich guy conspiracy. Or maybe it's market demand.... Rush Limbaugh doesn't get tons of money because all the radio stations are conspiring to make him rich and make him the mouthpiece for the nation, they are airing him and paying him so much because he gets massive ratings (lots of listeners). If he suddenly lost 90% of his audience they'd kick him to the curb. There have been many attempts at getting "progressive" radio out there. Air America struggles, why? They aren't getting the listeners. The market decides success or failure. Well I guess the answer may be legislation, yeah the politicians always know best don't they? Here's a couple links that try to explain the first one they absolutely refuse to acknowledge that free market (one of the pillars of a free country) is working, there must be limits on who can own what and how much. read here
The second link is from a "conservative" talk show and is second hand info, I can't say that it's fact and hesitated to bring it up, but at last I decided, I'll share it and let you decide. Listen

We do not need regulations to control radio's political content. They will air what people listen to, because the advertisers will pay to support things that people are listening to.

re: ok that's IT

Well, apparently they have heard from a ton of people from all over the country and have decided they won't reject a contract with the station because they air Rush. I don't know if common sense prevailed or they were just intimidated into it, but lets get real, they should pick the station for the contract that can best do the job. hopefully now they will make the decision based on that.

On another issue. I usually don't really care about anything Angelina Jolie, I really don't have an opinion on her one way or another, she seems to be trying to do good things, but I found this article interesting, considering the movie she is promoting is among other things trying to promote a "free" press, then she goes and tries to ban some and control the content with others that would be covering her for the release of the movie. Now that's a good one check out the article here

ok that's IT.

Today I'm annoyed by something I read. I sent an email to voice my opinion and they probably think it's something Rush Limbaugh encouraged, I haven't even listened to rush to see if he even mentions this article I read. Some jerks in Broward County Florida are wanting to end a contract to report hurricane information, with a radio station, because they air Rush Limbaugh. What a joke, what does political opinion have to do with public safety ... here's the article

I just LOVE this quote " Commissioner Stacy Ritter said she did not want to support a station that's out of step with area politics." The brilliance of this woman is just mind blowing! More and more I understand why Glenn Beck talks about needing to wrap duct tape around his head. (so his head doesn't explode from all the stupid things he sees happening) WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, why do we have to turn EVERYTHING into a political death match?????????

This is what STUPIDOPINIONS.INFO is all about! They spew the stupidity and I'll highlight it.

poor old lu lyrics. sometimes you just have to

Oh I don't know

I'm pretty much undecided on what I should think about the presidential race, other than it's too early, the dems want to have the government (not we the people government, but a dem run we know what's best for you government) run everything from health care to global warming, that i am decided about, I guess I should clarify that I'm undecided on what to think or do about the sucky bunch of candidates the republicans have come up with so far. Rudy and McCain are so far left they might as well run as dems, except they do want to actually defend our country, I'll give them that. I know just a little about one that isn't even in the race yet, but he probably will run and I'll probably be a supporter for him. Fred Thompson, unless something comes out about him that puts a damper on that thought, I think I do have a candidate. Hopefully he does run and he does capture the conservatives and the Reagan Democrats. We will see.
now this was a boring post, maybe I should bring up Paris Hilton or something ;) She's in Jail again. crying herself to sleep, the problem is... she is crying for self pity, not remorse for breaking the law. maybe some time in that cell will help her out with the priorities. That's all.

how dodd....

I just saw a commercial that at first didn't catch my attention, the tune was cute kids singing... "whole world in his hands"...uh oh wait, no its in "our hands" It was a presidential commercial for Chris Dodd... He's decided to try to be the global warming candidate, we have the power or he's hoping he has the power to basically destroy business with a new TAX on business to change the face of business in America.... meaning.... make the cost of running a business in the US so prohibitive and drive them elsewhere, the next thing they'd do is start complaining about how these evil businesses are setting up shop outside of the US. There so far is no EVIDENCE that we have any control over the temperature of the earth, let's just do stupid things that screw up the rest of our lives over something we can't control... NO the whole world isn't in our hands... yes we should be good stewards and take care of it the best possible way, but to TAX businesses out of here isn't going to help. The other effect that these taxes would have is to drive prices that you and I pay for goods and services much higher. No thanks Chris.

I don't have much time before I head into work. I had a bunch of great thoughts to blog about last night, couldn't get the time to actually do it, then I woke up after too short of a nights sleep and now I can't think of anything I meant to talk about. I am a bit excited that it looks like Fred Thompson is going to bring "law and order" to the presidential campaign, yeah that joke wasn't just waiting to happen now was it. Okay... later I may blog about illegal immigration (just for fun) and iowans committing murder in florida... who knows but I need to go now.
