IT'S A NEW DAY FILLED WITH PURPOSE AND CONVICTION
The president's speech last night was what I expected--low keyed, aimed to manage expectations and a request for more money.
A lot more money. You can tell we're in the political season when the old boys in the congress start throwing money at the war, while the young bucks out on the campaign trail make fools of themselves attacking the war and the president so vociferously. The regulars know this war is worth every penny of the president's request. They'll hem and haw to show the folks back home how nonpartisan they are, conveniently separating themselves from the Dems who are so far to the left they're about to bounce to the right! Yeah, the president will get exactly what he needs. Thank God for moderates, whatever party they belong to.
Meanwhile, the president's stoney face told me more. I felt a deepening sense of understanding and resolve. My impression is that the only thing that would stop America now is, well, nothing. I can't come up with a scenario that would show the USA disengaging from the terrorist war in the Middle East. Well, I could, but it's too awful to even contemplate.
According to Germany's Gerhard Schroeder ("ve vill vork it out, ve vill vork it ou-t") and the French UN Ambassador (Philipe de Smartypants) (oh you Amel-ri-cuns, you are so, so...silly...of course, we will help you...what are friends for after all?") got their licks in last week when they got together for a beer and told each other and the world how bad Bush is. Now that they've established their I-told-you-so haught, just like the whore at the bar, we can get down to the real issue: money.
By the way, when everyone gets teary eyed about the French helping us start our American Revolution, it might be good to remember they were not doing so out of altruistic, nation building motives. They were at war with the Brits, as usual. The French never do things for altruistic reasons. That is not in their nature. However, if it looks good, they love it.
I WILL NOT STOP HARPING ON THE ILLEGALS ISSUE
Not only is France desperately grabbing for its place in the new world order, so are the California Latino lobbies and activists.
The L.A. Times and the Press Enterprise editors chose photos of the man who wrote the Illegal Drivers License bill, Gil Cedillo. Standing next to him was L.A. Mayor Hahn, and next to him was Davis acknowledging the huge crowd of Mexican flag wavers attending Mexico's Independence Day.
The fact that Schwarzenegger was "disinvited" because of his "anti-immigrant" stand on the issues was downplayed by the parade chairman, as a he-said she-said issue. Yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger hates immigrants...since he is one? What.
Cruz I'll-bust-your-ugly-Gringo-chops-mante showed up in Fresno at another Mexican shindig.
PROPOSITION 54
Another race issue coming up for the voter's consideration is the elimination of the section appearing on applications for services and school enrollment that asks your nationality/origin. I always leave these things blank because I think it's wrong.
Anyway, add this to the nattering class' list of worries. They've tried to demonize the author of this bill, Ward Connerly before. Remember, it was Connerly who wrote the bill that would eliminate affirmative action in state colleges and universities.
Then there's good old Prop 187, the anchor of the entire anti-illegal argument. This bill disallows illegals from getting public services. You know, the Emergency Room at Inland Hospital being used as a baby clinic or primary care facility, as an example.
Again, the ugly head of race differences pops up throughout every civil process.
Can't we all just be Americans? Forget the homeland, forget the independence day celebrations (except July 4th), learn the English language and come here legally, which is all we ask.
Thanks for the read.

JUST AS OUR GRANDPARENTS DURING THE ANTI-WAR 20s /30s, WE NEED TO FACE SOME UNPLEASANT FACTS OF LIFE
Pearl Harbor changed everything. The era of showdown from the East and West was upon America, and like it or not, we had to defend ourselves and Britain, while we were at it. We baby boomers remember hearing about it. "The big one, W W II," as Dobie Gillis' pop used to say.
Here we are again, at the defining moment in western civilization. Our guts are in a roil, anxious about this Iraq thing, but know we have to trust the president. He's got the information; we don't. Therefore, most of us trust the man.
Three equally important items on the agenda today--
GRAY DAVIS, THE MOST IMPORTANT--AND DANGEROUS--MAN IN AMERICA
The Dems have been given a gift. The benefits won't become apparent for another election cycle.
Davis' signing of the bill giving illegals the right to have a drivers license is hugely problematic. Here's why.
Davis's sudden new constituency will keep him in some form of comfortable power for years to come. As a result of Davis' pander and because of motor voter registration in California, our state faces a revolution. It's a quiet one, but the sheer volume of it builds steam every day. The fact is: illegals will now be able to vote.
Another element, of course, is the danger this immoral law poses to national security. If the Feds don't stop this, we can kiss it goodbye and the former won't matter. Poor President Bush. California's problem becomes more than immigration being out of control; it is now a race issue. It will hurt in the president but he has to do the right thing.
It has become apparent that Mexifornia is the goal of some of our American Spanish-surnamed elected officials. I will remind you the illegal drivers licensing debate was carried on in Spanish on the state senate floor. From the affected "Frito Bandino" voice of Angelides, "What are you afraid of? We work in every kitchen in California. Scared we'll poison your food?" This was paraphrased. But the voice and attitude were definitely smug, snide and very un-American. These kinds of comments are now coming from public officials directed at the tax paying citizens of this country, and directed specifically at Anglos. Unacceptable behavior in our legislature.
The night Davis signed the bill, the attorney for the illegals ended Chris Matthews' highly charged TV interview with him and Bob Dornan by throwing up his fist shouting, "Its a new California!"
This racist, well-organized effort must be exposed and stopped. We Americans should no longer feel angst and guilt about our duty. Throwing up our hands and giving it all up is simply not an option. The fact is: if they're illegal, they need to go home. If they're here to take over our state, we need to send them home. Senor Bustamante's not very discreet connections with MEChA and their core tenet--all bronze folks in, white folks out is shocking. Would that include light blacks, or light Asians; what about Indians, Packistanis, Saudis? Wish it weren't true. But it's a fact. Read about MEChA. Delightful people.
Naturalized citizens should be outraged at this slap. They went through the process, which is all the U.S. is asking.
NORTH KOREA AND JONG'S DONG HANGING OUT
This little twit, another tyrant's progeny ascending to a "throne," has backed down due to Bush's excellent work during the latest crises. Bush held firm, as he usually does, insisting that China be involved, along with Japan in talks. There will be no unilateral talks with the US.
Meanwhile, Jong continues to sell his Dong missles and nuclear materials to anyone who wants them, perhaps including a few Saudis, el Qaeda*.
The danger isn't really with Jong's using his nukes on the US (currently--who knows in two or three years?) as much as with terrorists and rogue nations buying them on the black market. We will have to assist Japan in defending herself, as well as South Korea. It seems these nations finally have come to the sweet reason only fear and dying can bring. Listening to Mr. Bush is very important.
The big guy's going to need some troops. Another fact to face. We'll probably have to reinstate the draft. That is life, cyclical and normal. We're just not used to it yet. If the world continues toward self-anihilation, my WAG for bringing back the draft is five years from now. By the way, none of these opinions are based on anything more than political theory and iand analysis of imperical, historical tendencies. Plus some common sense.
ANTI-WAR RHETHORIC IS DEPRESSING AND HARMFUL TO OUR WELL BEING
Election campaigning, usually a fun thing for a polijunkie like me has become distressing, irritating. For instance, when Howard Dean appears, I flip the remote or leave the room. That's probably not a good thing to do, but I can't seem to help myself. I feel my blood pressure soar the sound of his strident, smart-ass voice. This doctor, who know absolutely zero about foreign policy, and the Democrats are doing exactly what they did with McGovern. Didn't work then, won't work now.
The discussions among the know nothings who postulate about our bad foreign policy, which is nothing more than a manifestation of their pathologic hatred of George Bush, fail to give us the great wisdom and knowledge on what to do. For instance, when would be the good time to face up to the danger in the world--before we're hit again, or after?
The fact is: the war is here. The bad guys want to kill us. We cannot afford the luxury of such "free speech." Wonder if Roosevelt had to put up with this kind of abuse during the war? For instance, did Wilkey or Landon say awful things, further debilitating US troop morale? Did FDR have a press that second guessed his every war decision?
No, he probably didn't. After all, he was a Democrat. And they are, after all, perfect people.
Thanks for the read.

MAYBE WE AMERICANS REALLY DON'T HAVE THE CHARACTER TO GET THROUGH THESE BAD TIMES.
We need a huge victory. Personally, I'd be happy with one of these: find wmds, Saddam or bin Laden. I'll pray for it.

IT'S TOO LATE BABY, NOW, IT'S JUST TOO LATE...
Sorry, Britney, I'm not buying into your latest make nice. After you embarassed yourself by freedom kissing the hag, Madonna, at the MTV awards, you think you can just say you like what President Bush is doing and all's forgotten.
No, no, no, no. no. Go to your room.
PAT ROBERTSON COMES OUT FOR ARNOLD
Golly, it looks like the Reverend has prayed for (and received) discernment. Good. Watch for the flock to follow.
If Arnold does get elected, look for an immediate overhaul of state services and the layoff of state employees. In the last five years, 40,000 new jobs were created by Gray Davis and his democrat cronies. It's my understanding these jobs are located predominately in the social services bureaucracy. I'm sure there are some extra security people as well, and some teachers, to be fair.
Little known fact: Davis' quid quo pro for the prison guard lobby include a 40 percent raise in salary (the average guard makes $100,000), mandatory retirement at age 50 and full pay until the day they all die. This group one of the smallest lobbys in Sac.
Another little known fact: Just like the absentee Texas dems who fled to N. Mexico to avoid dealing with LEGAL redistricting due to increase in populations in certain areas, causing their party to lose 7 seats, California democrats got caught playing similar-style hardball. They left their recorder microphones on during one of the big strategy sessions in the caucas room. These guys play mean and rough. Let's just say the conversations were a bit more candid than they would've liked for us to think.
By the way, the state spends nearly $271,000 to educate a child from K through 12. And they still can't read, or think, or write. However, they are every bit as cool as anyone could be, Dude, Bro, WHATEVER.
One last fact: less than 13% of all workers in America belong to labor unions, most of them federal and state workers. Most of them still have no say in polticial contributions and endorsements. It's downright un-American.
DAVIS TO SIGN ILLEGALS' FREE PASS INTO HEAVEN
Well, if you looked up the word "pander" in the dictionary, you'll find Davis' face next to it. Don't you know it just burns Bustamante's butt that the Gov got the jump on the pander wagon?
What's next? Debate on the state senate floor in Spanish?
Too late. It happened yesterday when the many Latino senators argued the issue, yes, in Spanish.
Just shoot me.
THE WAR
I don't know about you but I'm getting real tired of the Iraqis' grumbling. These people need to step up to the plate and assist in their own rescue. I know they're scared, but every successful nation must have its heroes.
Meanwhile, I applaud the vertebrates amongst our leaders, e.g., Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell. These four men are responsible for saving western civilization.
WHO THE HELL IS MAUREEN DOWD, ANYWAY?
I'm a political junkie, no ifs, ands, buts. So, I've seen almost every political hack and commentator in America. However, just like the hit and run tactics of the Hollywood left, this woman is a phantom.
What bothers me is she's never available to answer for her innane diatribes about almost anyone who's got nerve and a feeling for America. I've been told she's "dating" Aaron Sorkin (now there's a catch), the original writer for The West Wing. Need I say more?
As Charlie Daniels says in his new book, paraphrased, "If you put it out there, you gotta take the consequences."
I doubt I'll get a note from Ms. Dowd asking me to lunch. I hear she doesn't relate well to the rest of us.

DID YOU KNOW THAT ILLEGAL ALIENS NOW CAN HAVE A CALIFORNIA DRIVERS LICENSE?
Today the idiots in Sacramento passed the law that tells every illegal who can breathe he too can have a drivers license. Illegal aliens in this case could be Mexican, Austrian or Saudi Arabian.
Is it just me, or does this pose a huge security risk for the USA? (See, the DMV can't "share" info with other government agencies. Makes you feel real warm, cozy and safe, huh?)
Homeland Security needs to weigh in on this nonsense.
ANOTHER REASON TO VOTE FOR ARNOLD
The first "Candidate Forum," a debate of California gubenatorial candidates has concluded. Among the missing were the other 128 candidates, and Arnold.
Of course, Peter Ueberroth was his usual patrician self...gosh, what a great gov he'd make. He just repeated: "Folks, there's no money," "I'd like to help you with that now, but there's no money," and my favorite of all, "There's just no money."
And Tom McClintock, the most qualified person on the whole ballot was per his best. Too bad he's so far right socially. He just can't get elected in California. Maybe later.
Cruz Bustamante, still defending his association with MECHA (wouldn't you like to be a Mexifornian too?), appears to have had a dress consultant fluff him up a bit. Underneath it all, though, he's still a third world leftist thug with his banana republic politics. By the way, he defended his huge contribution from the Indian tribes by saying he's worked with them for 20 years. Those contributions totaled $2 million dollars from the Native American Pechange Nation, a tribe of 126 of half-breeds. Huh? Using the loophole in the law is so typically Democrat Party.
The Green Party candidate, don't care to remember his name--Camejo--sounded like a third-grader during the what-I-did-last-summer thing the first day of school.
Arianna Huffington, perpetually off on another planet, told all of us about why property taxes should be raised with the following criteria: how much money you make and how much the house is worth...which I guess means she wants the county assessor to come to the house, sit at the dining room table and look for your new stuff. She didn't elaborate a whole lot.
So, there's the ballot. Except, as I said, for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold will probably be elected, if McClintock does the right thing (What Would Ronnie Do? and did with the fight against Nixon). Awnold's staff will guide and push him around like restaurant busboys with Bissells. For a while. Then, just as President Bush did, Arnold will find his Prince Hal feet and get the job done. The guy's a born winner.
THE WAR
I will say this and I don't care what anyone thinks of me: THOSE WHO PUBLICALLY CRITICIZE OUR INVOLVEMENT IN IRAQ AT THIS JUNCTURE IN THE WAR ARE IRRESPONSIBLE. And they're going to get us all killed if they get a chance at a return to power.
No, I didn't say they couldn't say what they say. I said they shouldn't say what they say. It's dangerous. Ask any serviceperson with his butt is on the line in Iraq.
Now about this question of going to war. If not now, when? One or two years, when WMDs are so prevalent in the Middle East, there's no opportunity for any kind of long term peace? Or did we want to wait until Iran finally gets that big boy up and ready to strike Israel? They're far enough away geographically to do it and not be affected. And what about Syria and Lebanon? Wanna bet they're scared now? They should be.
I'VE SAID IT BEFORE. EVERTHING'S DIFFERENT SINCE 9/11. BELIEVE IT.
How distressing is it to hear people talk about this war and today's world as if nothing has changed. There are those who have yet to realize the paradigm has totally changed, their old ideas/strategies and foreign policy that depends upon a more, shall we say, polite diplomacy? As an example, there's the picture of Madeline Albright waddling around in a dance with Kim Jong Il and his dolled-up minions while the N.K.s built their nukes right under our eyes; or how about President Clinton delivering his change-the-subject bombs on the aspirin factory; or his feckless foreign policy that frittered away at least ten opportunities to have bin Laden's head along with those of horrible, murderous warlords in Mogadischu (sp).
It's time Americans grow up. Freedom is not free.
That means: a possible selective service (draft within the next ten years).
It also means we need to accept the position of the world's greatest power with much more understanding and resolve to deal proportionately with the truth.
It's seems that some very vocal folks just can't accept the idea that America can be hit again.
How does one negotiate with terrorists? You don't; you take the war to their side of the world and kill them all, just as President Bush is doing right now.

Those contributions totaled $2 million dollars from the Native American Pechange Nation, a tribe of 126 of half-breeds. Huh? Using the loophole in the law is so typically Democrat Party.
The Green Party candidate, don't care to remember his name--Camejo--sounded like a third-grader during the what-I-did-last-summer thing the first day of school.
Arianna Huffington, perpetually off on another planet, told all of us about why property taxes should be raised with the following criteria: how much money you make and how much the house is worth...which I guess means she wants the county assessor to come to the house, sit at the dining room table and look for your new stuff. She didn't elaborate a whole lot.
So, there's the ballot. Except, as I said, for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold will probably be elected, if McClintock does the right thing (What Would Ronnie Do? and did with the fight against Nixon). Awnold's staff will guide and push him around like restaurant busboys with Bissells. For a while. Then, just as President Bush did, Arnold will find his Prince Hal feet and get the job done. The guy's a born winner.
THE WAR
I will say this and I don't care what anyone thinks of me: THOSE WHO PUBLICALLY CRITICIZE OUR INVOLVEMENT IN IRAQ AT THIS JUNCTURE IN THE WAR ARE IRRESPONSIBLE. And they're going to get us all killed if they get a chance at a return to power.
No, I didn't say they couldn't say what they say. I said they shouldn't say what they say. It's dangerous. Ask any serviceperson with his butt is on the line in Iraq.
Now about this question of going to war. If not now, when? One or two years, when WMDs are so prevalent in the Middle East, there's no opportunity for any kind of long term peace? Or did we want to wait until Iran finally gets that big boy up and ready to strike Israel? They're far enough away geographically to do it and not be affected. And what about Syria and Lebanon? Wanna bet they're scared now? They should be.
I'VE SAID IT BEFORE. EVERTHING'S DIFFERENT SINCE 9/11. BELIEVE IT.
How distressing is it to hear people talk about this war and today's world as if nothing has changed. There are those who have yet to realize the paradigm has totally changed, their old ideas/strategies and foreign policy that depends upon a more, shall we say, polite diplomacy? As an example, there's the picture of Madeline Albright waddling around in a dance with Kim Jong Il and his dolled-up minions while the N.K.s built their nukes right under our eyes; or how about President Clinton delivering his change-the-subject bombs on the aspirin factory; or his feckless foreign policy that frittered away at least ten opportunities to have bin Laden's head along with those of horrible, murderous warlords in Mogadischu (sp).
It's time Americans grow up. Freedom is not free.
That means: a possible selective service (draft within the next ten years).
It also means we need to accept the position of the world's greatest power with much more understanding and resolve to deal proportionately with the truth.
It's seems that some very vocal folks just can't accept the idea that America can be hit again.
How does one negotiate with terrorists? You don't; you take the war to their side of the world and kill them all, just as President Bush is doing right now.
Thanks for the read.
