Just Another Manic Monday

The Drudge Report reports that CNN aired a false start to the President's immigration speech last night. This was all of a 16 (sixteen) second lapse where the US President was caught rehearsing the beginning of the speech and cameras were rolling. What on earth is the big deal? Flashing an image of the President rehearsing a speech is not in the same league as CBS reporting on false documents in an attempt to sway a presidential election. (Or the New York Times in collusion with treasonous partisans.)

The Presidents 5 (five) point plan to control the border is a good plan, a sound plan that will never see the light of day. While most moderate, clear thinking, individuals will agree on all points (troops placement on the border, ending a catch and release policy, national identification cards and a solid guest worker program), the hatred of this President by the left (progressive, elite media) is such that he will never gain support nor will a reasonable pass through congress. In other words, our elected officials will once again disappoint on a critical issue. The President asked the Congress to place a piece of legislation on his desk by the end of May -- hopefully 2006.

What the President, the Congress and the Media should understand:
The American People want and the Constitution allows for the militarization of our border. As the President pointed out, he is the former governor of Texas, a state that has historically been attacked by Mexico! He, better than most American's, should have a special interest and understanding in moving quickly on this issue. Control of our borders is not a partisan issue -- regardless of party affiliation, American’s want this taken care of - yesterday.

The issue is one of national security, let alone the cost of supporting millions of illegal aliens. Illegal immigrants cannot be expected to fully participate in our society, nor are they capable of finding employment at a wage sufficient to cover basics such as medicine. The American taxpayer picks up these costs. If one subtracts the $150 a week non-taxed lettuce picking wages from the medical bills, tuition at our public schools and colleges -- it boggles the mind. Guest worker?

Speaking of that lettuce and other forms of produce that are picked and sold in the United States by hard working illegal's -- why it is that local grocer's in the Northeast as well as the Wal-Mart chain carry produce and goods that are predominately picked or produced in Mexico?

Apparently, lettuce, avocados, tomatoes and more actually grow south of the San Diego Border. Why are Mexican’ invading our country by the millions? Health care and education as well as a lucrative drug market and a strong belief in manifest destiny (Mexico’s).

The US needs to call out it's national guard now, yesterday. Actually the day the national guard should have been on both borders was: September 12, 2001. There is no excuse for the lack of care shown for the citizens of this country by its elected officials, regardless of party.

In Local News: There is a small enclave of hamlets, somewhat like WACO, to the north of the 19th (nineteenth) most violent city in the country, where a call for impeachment of the President of the United States was brought before the City Council. This happened yesterday. Ranting on local news once again: The following station, WBBG-40, ran a ridiculous clip on this incident giving more air time to a group of rattled NOHOites praising the 30 plus congressmen who are pushing legislation to impeach the president (and noting proudly that the majority of them are from Massachusetts including the reprehensible John Olver) than the presidents speech on immigration.

Sane or Moderate Individuals in Western Massachusetts are running out of options. There simply are no credible local news outlets left, or very few.

Of course Massachusetts, the state that is known for it's citizen's contributions to society (Ted Kennedy (why bother with a list), Dr. Timothy Leary (LSD), Abby Hoffman (radical, author of "Steel This Book"), Arlo Guthrie (God I Miss the 1960's), the Massachusetts Supreme Court...ad nauseaum) -- should give credence to a group of city residents who wish to impeach the president of the United States; while nominating Al Gores new film on Global Warming for the NOHO Film Festival Award.

I now answer the inquiry "Where are you from?" with the following:
"Well, I've lived in Florida, and Connecticut, and my parents were from New York!" Hopefully, placing a distance between myself and the cauldron of violence and insanity that is Massachusetts and avoiding the derision and questions that always follow an admission of residence to someone from outside the Commonwealth. I love my neighbors (who look like me, who talk like me), the landscape (mountains), but not the ability of a few of the residents (who happen to work in education and media) to embrace the most ridiculous fiction as fact and - report it!
