RW,

The best treatment is prevention. In Washington, kids in public schools get 2 hours of growth and development (liberal code for sex ed) during their first 6 years. They get one class a day of “health” for a week in middle school and one semester in HS. A parent can opt out of any part of these classes they want. The smarter ones want their kids to know as much as possible about the negative consequences of early sexual activity, but there are always a few kooks who think they can protect their children from life by postponing any mention of these issues as long as possible. As I posted earlier, human frailty is not confined to liberals or to conservatives, as some of these parents find out the hard way. Now you may want to blame the current state of our educational system on these few hours of Health Classes, but I think you are being a true troglodyte if you do. There are a host of other issues: one problem is that we have too many pushy parents wanting their precious ones to get a 4.0 and protesting violently whenever a really tough teacher comes along and gives the little darlings the “D” they so richly deserve. That’s in the better schools. The other schools have to deal with the problems of drugs, weapons, parents who don’t give a darn, gangs, and so on. You can have the best teachers in the world, but if parents are not doing their jobs, it won’t matter a bit. Instead of watching t.v. or going to a late business meeting or doing that round of methamphetamine, if parents would take an interest in their kid’s education, things might be a little different. Watching March Madness is always a good lesson in screwed up priorities. A bunch of semi-literate kids who can’t pass the SAT’s without help, on nationwide television being adulated as heroes.

Journalists strive daily to keep bias out of news pages Angela Tuck - Staff Saturday, March 25, 2006

As one of my colleagues pointed out this week, journalists rarely set out to deliberately slant coverage. There is a clear set of standards we abide by when assembling each day’s newspaper.

Because the newspaper’s credibility is on the line every day, violations of newsroom standards and ethics are taken seriously by senior editors. Clear expectations and experienced professionals help keep bias out of our news pages.

How sad. I wonder if they really believe this? Let me show you how easy this is:

    Help workers, supervisors, and agency leaders examine their attitudes and beliefs about gay and lesbian parenting, while affirming the value of these families by including them in outreach, training materials, and parent panels.

    In other words, reprogramming and sensitivity training is in order and you have no choice but to agree that it’s AOK.

    Since I believe in “choice” more than most liberals, I would suggest that adoption agencies be permitted to make their own decisions in these matters. For example if the agency is something like a Catholic Charities, should they be forced to accept gay adoptive parents?

    Buy Danish,

    I think the law about AIDS education in kindergarden is ridiculous. Anyone who worked with children would realize that it is developmentally inappropriate. Those poor kids wouldn’t have a clue what you were talking about. As for the health classes in Washington, they are initially focused on issues such as the changes that take place during puberty, the need for showering more often for example. As the kids enter puberty, they center more on sex as a way of procreating the species. They also emphasize the risks and dangers inherent in promiscuous sex. They do discuss issues such as birth control and condoms once the kids are in High School, although kids often bring up those issues on their own in middle school. The curriculum is available for parents to review and every year, there are meetings for interested parents to meet with the teachers before the classes and find out more. If they don’t like the content, they are free to pull their kids out.

    Suck,

    One of the biggest problems we have in our schools is bullying, even to the point of causing serious bodily harm and death. And guess who the most serious offenders are: gay bashers. Those kids brought up in homes hearing their parents rant against gays think it is ok to beat the sh*t our of anyone who is effeminate, whether they are gay or not. Their favorite derogatory terms seem to center around people’s supposed sexuality. Not a healthy environment to grow up in. As for gays as adoptive parents, they often take in kids who nobody wants that have been bouncing around the foster care system for years. Your “what’s next, viewing booths for pedophiles?” shows the depth of your ignorance and makes you troglodyte of the day. Show me one study that associates homosexuality with pedophilia. Most pedophiles are straight. Many molest their own children.

    I’ve got no problem with gay couples adopting kids. Beats warehousing them in orphanages or serial foster homes. I also understand why Catholic groups argue that being forced to arrange such adoptions violate their beliefs. But if those groups get tax dollars?

    The court’s Solomon Amendment decision is based on precedents that conclude if you accept government money, you have to play by government rules. The schools’ argument that overturning their recruitment ban violated freedom of assembly was weak. But the argument that voiding the ban would violate free speech and private property rights had merit, IMO Just the same, the schools lost. The Constitution trumps regulations, but regulations trump a group’s argument that federal funds come with no strings attached.

    I’m not debating the ethical, moral or practical consequences of denying federal dollars to Catholic adoption services if they bar gays who want to adopt.

    Most pedophiles are male. Many indiscriminately molest both male and female children. This doesn’t make them homosexual, only indiscrimnate pedophiles. Most homosexuals in relations that are committed enough to consider taking on the responsibilities of adopting a child are not interested in sexually molesting children. I wish the same could be said of heterosexual coulples in the foster care system. While most of these people are wonderful, caring couples who selflessly give of themselves, there are too many who put themselves in that position in order to gains access to children. (male or female, it doesn’t seem to matter.) What has always puzzled me about these arrangements is that while it is usually the male member of the couple who is the molester, why would a wife put up with it?

    You can call it “propaganda” if you want, but the Nambla stuff is bad enough that even the U.N. is troubled:

    In 1985 NAMBLA was admitted as a member in New York’s council of Lesbian and Gay Organizations as well as the International Gay Association—now the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA). In the mid-1990’s ILGA’s association with NAMBLA and other pedophile groups cost the organization it’s status as a Non-Governmental Organization in the United Nations.

    ILGA’s renewed attempt to gain admittance to the UN was rejected again in April 2002 because the organization “did not document that it had purged pedophile groups such as [NAMBLA].” The Washington Times reports that Ishtiag H. Anrabi, Pakistani delegate to the UN Economic and Social Council, expressed concern that ILGA was continuing to be secretive about ties with pedophile groups: “For more than a year, the ILGA has refused to provide documentation or allow review of its membership list to demonstrate that pedophilia groups have been expelled.”[53]

Neither have cases of men who are living a gay lifestyle abusing children. What is seen is children who are abused by their fathers or their mother’s “boyfriend’s.” These folks come from all walks of life and all socioeconomic classes. The other group are the serial offenders who spend years getting themselves in positions of trust which they are able to take advantage of.

    You asked to see ONE study that associated homosexuality with pedophilia. I gave you a bundle of them, but when you don’t like the results you claim that the source is untrustworthy because it was compiled by a relgious organization.

    finch,

    I have a sister who is a born again. Everytime we talk about homosexuality, we reach an impasse. She honestly believes that kids choose a lifestyle that subjects them to constant humiliation to the point that many commit suicide. She is impervious to all the studies that are finding a biological basis for homosexuality. I have given up talking to born agains about homosexuality. The issue of child molestation is a whole other ball game. As the man said: “Know your enemy.” As long as people are focusing on shadow enemies like NAMBLA, they are letting the real perpetrators operate in the clear. Everytime we get down to the nitty gritty of who the child molestors really are, my sister suddenly doesn’t want to talk about it. She has trouble believing that a perfectly respectable member of her church could be diddling his kids on the side. The problem with child molestors is that they could be anybody.

    I beg to differ, but I will defer to the New Supremes.

    The “crisis” of gay pedophiles is vastly exaggerated.

    I gather then that you did not join the chorus of Priest-bashing, or did those Priests molest young girls? To steal a quote from you, I’m sure there are cases, but I can’t think of a single one.

    Earlier today, RW took me to task for pointing out the difference between a drug and a vaccine. He asked me why I would expect him to know the difference as long as he knew how to use them. The answer was that I didn’t expect him to know the difference, but that it was important information because one was about prevention, the other about treatment after the fact. Along the same vein, there are many papers that look like research to the untrained eye, but are nothing more than someone going over reams of data, taking out the part that suits them, and then using that data to “prove” a point. ( a process called cherry picking.) That is why articles undergo a process of peer review in scientific publications. The internet has allowed the dissemination of much information, but has removed any element of peer review. It is “caveat emptor.” Research means reviewing all the data, coming up with a hypothesis, and then testing that hypothesis with a designed study. The “Family Research Council” has never done a real research paper in its entire existence. It is one of the best examples of cherry picking on the internet.

    I really don’t know what to think about the priest bit. I suspect it is more a case of who is available. The Catholic Church has a tradition of being male dominated. Very few girls become altar girls or are intimately associated with priests. The fact that the priests by and large loose interest in the boys once they become young men makes me think they are probably run of the mill child molestors, but I really don’t know. I do know that that other ministers who molest children tend to molest boys and girls. The part I posted before about people spending years getting themselves into a position of trust in a community holds true here.

    I didn’t know priests were using chatrooms to troll for young boys. Also, I’d be interested to see how many priests abused boys they had adopted. Want to guess?

    I didn’t join the priest-bashing mob because, frankly, the whole sorry mess left me feeling sad, not angry. I do not hate the Church, and I’m baffled by the men of God who betrayed it.

    well, i do have a dog in this fight. imagine my suprise to find out this morning that 1) i’m going to hell for bedding another woman, and 2) some people equate gay and lesbians with pedophiles.

    let’s make one thing clear: being gay or lesbian is a matter of sexual orientation; pedophilia is a psychological disorder of sexual abuse. i have never met anyone in the g/l community that condones sexual activity with juveniles.

    buy danish, your statements incoroporate several fallacies of thinking, including those of reification, association, and binary arrangement. if you are going to claim to be a proponent of logic, then at least know the rules of philosophy.

    i would never assume that all catholic priests are inclined to molest children just because of recent instances. likewise, i would never assume all white southerns to be racist because of the concerned citizens council (formerly the white citizens council; formerly the klan).

    conversely, because a man molests a child it does not make them gay. it makes them sick. if you check the modus operandi of molesters, you will find a large number are in hetero-relationships; are white; and many are involved in community organizations such as churches, youth sports leagues, and the like. maybe we should be on the look out for middleaged white male churchgoers? it fits your model of logic.

    this pedophilia sh!t is just that. groups like the family research council use it to set there own agendas and to stir up homophobia.

    i do not pretend to speak for all gay and lesbians. i’m not a member of any political g/l group. all i want is to live my life without the threat of someone using the power of government to beat me over the head with their evangelical interpretaion of leviticus, romans, or the ten commandments.

    You and W.S. seem to think that these numbers are exaggerated. I’m not going to just take W.S.’s word for it.

    Not only is Cynthia, Queen Pinko, recycling MoveOn slogans this week, she has to lie to get them to “work”:

    Military recruits are pulled largely from the nation’s working class — from those whose prospects are less than stellar, from high school graduates who know they have little chance of affording college tuition, from young parents whose civilian jobs don’t come with health insurance. Enlisted men and women tend to come from households earning between $32,000 and $33,500, according to a 1999 Defense Department study. The median American income is $43,300.

    Watch how easy this is:

    Taken directly from the 2002 census bureau estimates, the average median income by age group-

    15 to 24 - 27,828 25 to 34 - 45,330 35 to 44 - 53,521

    Those most likely to join the military average $27,828 which is below the median from Mother Lib’s defense department stats.

The Catholic Church has a tradition of being male dominated. Very few girls become altar girls or are intimately associated with priests. The fact that the priests by and large loose interest in the boys once they become young men makes me think they are probably run of the mill child molestors, but I really don’t know.

    2 Cents and a Night in Jail (God does have a sense of humor)

    Let me tell you a short story I think you’ll really love. It’s about an elderly gentleman who had evidence of malfeasant conduct in the Bartow County school system. His name is Jesse Weldon.

    Mr. Weldon was tired of getting the run-around so he goes to the Board meeting and puts in his two cents worth. (you’ll see what 2 cents is really worth)

    Now, it just happens that some of the board members didn’t like what they heard, so they had a former county sheriff go take warrants for Mr. Weldon, which he did.

    Next comes the current Sheriff’s deputies late at night and haul him to lockup. Don’t matter that he’s never been arrested for anything before, or that they could have simply asked him to show up in the morning for arraignment. No! They got “orders to take him in now”, recent heart attack or not! Yep, he was recovering from a heart attack.

    Now, by God Almighty, we’ll teach him to upset our little apple cart; we’ll show him we don’t have to do what the law says!

    Well, after a couple of years waiting for justice from a charge that had already been declared unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court when the idiot Magistrate signed the warrant, a grand jury finally no bills the case.

    Now, Jesse may be old, and he may be infirmed, but he will, by the grace of the Almighty, have his day in court! So, he hires a lawyer, and the lawyer hires another lawyer, and they all go tripping over to the Federal Courthouse in Rome to file a 1983 action (4-06-CV-029). That’s the civil tort counterpart of federal criminal charges.

    Now, at this point I should remind you of the recent SPLOST vote that passed, and a good thing it did. You see the Board, the ex-sheriff and the other resource officer didn’t file an answer, and that means that Mr. Weldon wins by default.

    I don’t know about the rest of you, ‘cause you must really enjoy paying all these high school taxes, but I’m glad for Mr. Weldon. You see, the Board of Education is now in debt to him to the tune of one million dollars. Yep, that’s $1,000,000.00! Some return on 2 cents, and he says he ain’t through with them yet!

    Oh, by the way, that’s your one million that won’t go toward your kid’s education!

    Yes, God does have a sense of humor, and there’s more to this story, but only the few who really give a rat’s tail will bother to inquire and remember come next election.

    I got some time, the democrats got some hate:

    Dan Rather: Rather, the well known television anchor for CBS, is also a liberal Democrat who has spoken at fundraisers for the Democrat party in the past. The notoriously left wing reporter appeared on the Don Imus radio show on July 19, 2001 where he was interviewed about his long term refusal to cover the Gary Condit (D-CA) scandal involving an affair with a missing intern despite the scandal’s national prominence. Rather noted on the air that CBS had basically forced him to cover the story that was on every other network and on the front page of all the major newspapers, all this after Rather avoided it for months. Rather stated on the air, refering to CBS, that “they got the Buckwheats” and made him cover the Condit scandal. The term “Buckwheat” is considered an offensive racial stereotype that stems from an easily frightened black character named “Buckwheat” on the Little Rascals comedies. It is widely regarded as a racial epithet and has long been condemned as an offensive stereotype by several civil rights organizations. In several past incidents (see here and here) the use of the epithet “Buckwheat” has recieved condemnation by the NAACP, Al Sharpton and other left wing organizations. These left wing organizations and personalities have demanded that other media personalities be fired over using the epithet, and even staged a protest at a school over the mere allegation that the racist stereotype had been used by a teacher. Yet these same liberal groups have, to date, remained completely silent now that one of their own, Dan Rather, is guilty of using the same offensive racial stereotype they have condemned elsewhere on a national radio show. It’s just more proof of how the left wingers who cry the loudest with accusations of racism against others turn a blind eye when somebody of their own left wing ideology is the undeniable culprit of a blatantly racist act or statement!

    Dixiecrats Triumphant

    The secret history of Woodrow Wilson.

    By Charles Paul Freund

    It was Inauguration Day, and in the judgment of one later historian, “the atmosphere in the nation’s capital bore ominous signs for Negroes.” Washington rang with happy Rebel Yells, while bands all over town played “Dixie.” The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, whose role it was to swear in the newly elected Southern president, was himself a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. Meanwhile, “an unidentified associate of the new Chief Executive warned that since the South ran the nation, Negroes should expect to be treated as a servile race.” Somebody had even sent the new president a possum, an act supposedly “consonant with Southern tradition.”

    This is not an alternate-world scenario imagining the results of a Strom Thurmond victory in 1948. It really happened on March 4, 1913, the day Woodrow Wilson, Democrat of Virginia and Georgia moved into the White House. The portrait of his Inauguration Day is drawn from historian Lawrence J. Friedman’s The White Savage: Racial Fantasies in the Postbellum South (1970).

    I borrowed this from an article by Paul Rockwell:

    “So long as the leadership of the Democratic Party upheld its progressive mandate, the credibility of the party remained high. Lyndon Johnson, once a segregationist himself, earned worldwide respect for the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, commended the freedom fighters who marched in Selma and sang “We Shall Overcome.” In January 1966 Johnson and Congress got unprecedented high ratings in the polls for liberal legislation. A Harris poll rated public approval of the Great Society legislation: Medicare for the aged, 82 percent; federal aid to education, 90 percent, excise tax cuts, 92 percent; the voting rights act, 95 percent.”

    Johnson and the democratic party crafted the civil rights legislation…the dixiecrats opposed it and, in defeat, moved to the republican party.

    Mouse Testicle Cells Behave Like Stem Cells

    We’ve heard this one many times before. Stem cells have been isolated from umbilical cord blood, bone marrow, skin, muscle tissue, etc. They are called “multipotent adult progenitor cells”, or MAPCs.

    MAPCs have many promising applications but sadly, to date, they have proven to be unacceptable substitutes for ESCs in the generation of new stem cell family lines; they have proven to still be too differentiated. Even Dr. Catherine Verfaillie, the director of early MAPCs research at the U of Minn now admits that ESC, embryonic stem cell, research must continue.

    Everyone should hope and pray that continued efforts in the research of MAPCs will yield the “holy grail” (method of stem cell line production independent of embryonic material). I suspect that the current efforts by Dr. Hasenfuss of the Georg-August-University of Goettingen that is the subject of the testicular stem cell article will again prove to be another red herring but we can always hope.

    I also hope that we can overcome our prejudices and allow the use of embryonic material that would otherwise be discarded. The greatest beneficiaries (children) can not wait for decades to see any possible benefit from MAPCs. It is encouraging that public opinion (even conservative religious opinion) is slowly shifting to embrace ESC usage in limited form.

    Until recently, the far right had derided the potential benefit from stem cell usage to be unproven and impractical. Recent major news stories such as Don Ho’s recent highly successful transplant with stem cells (in Thailand) to treat his failing heart, and video footage of spinal cord severage repair allowing mouse models to regain the ability to walk have proven to the lay public that ESCs do deliver on the promises that have been claimed for them.

    It continues to confound me that when we “play God” by removing an egg from a human female, fertilize it with human male sperm in vitro, and implant it back into the donor so that she can have children that she could not otherwise have, we are labeled “saints”. When we use that same “non-Godly” created embryo to save the life of children with progeria, cystic fibrosis, or leukemia; we are labled “baby-killers” and fiends whose only desire is to kill unborn fetuses or creators of blasphemous human cloning. Sounds a little facetious to me but what do I know, I am only a “professional”. (inside joke for Buy Danish)

    “The bill was promised by President John F. Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 11, 1963,[1] in which he asked for legislation that would provide “the kind of equality of treatment which we would want for ourselves.” He then sent the bill to Congress on June 19, when it was introduced in Congress by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. Kennedy was unable to advance the bill, but after his death, the President Lyndon Johnson decided to use his power in Congress to pass it. Despite an 83-day filibuster in the Senate by Southern Democrats, both parties in Congress voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Act, and President Johnson signed the bill into law on July 2, 1964.”

    “…there were notable exceptions. Republican senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona voted against the bill, remarking, “You can’t legislate morality”. Most Democrats from the Southern states opposed the bill, including Tennessee senator Albert Gore Sr., Arkansas senator J. William Fulbright, and West Virginia senator Robert Byrd. Goldwater went on to secure his party’s nomination for the presidency, and in the ensuing election, Goldwater won only his home state of Arizona and five of the Deep South states — four of which had not voted Republican since the disputed presidential election of 1876. This marked the end of the Solid South.”

    “Domestic partners eligible for pensions”

    When Atlanta sought to institute domestic partnership health benefits for city employees during the 1990s, a battle raged in and out of court for six years before the measure took effect. Last week, when Mayor Shirley Franklin extended those benefits to include city pensions, the noise was no louder than the sound of her pen scratching her signature on a new city law.

    While the issue of gay marriage is being fought in courtrooms in at least seven states — and in Georgia in 2004, voters overwhelming passed an amendment making gay marriage illegal — governments are quietly and increasingly extending marriage benefits to unmarried couples.

    In appears that the AJC article regarding the release of the Afghan Christian convert may have been premature. Wolf Blitzer had Condi Rice on this AM and reported that the case is being sent back down to the lower courts in order to acquire more evidence instead.

    We would think that the Afghanis would have enough reason to understand this to be an insufferable PR nightmare for them and to back-off. This is not a sector of the world known for its’ reasonableness, however. The “can’t be tried ‘cause he’s crazy” approach sounds like the tactic that will be most acceptable to resolve the situation to Afghanis and is what I expect. Who knows when you are dealing with extremists, though!

    BTW- Blitzer had a pretty good discussion regarding Iraq’s new constitution that has the same identical language that the Afghani constitution does regarding Islamic converts because they were largely authored by the same individual.

    Saddam Hussein planned to use “camels of mass destruction” as weapons to defend Iraq, loading them with bombs and directing them towards invading forces.

    If the translation is correct, it suggests that many of the foreign fighters now attacking coalition forces and bombing Iraqi civilians were directly trained by the Saddam regime, although there are no known reports of camels being used in suicide attacks.

    I bet Saddam figured out that if he did this he would lose PETA’s support.

    The Ford Foundation and Anheuser-Busch give millions of dollars a year to La Raza, Maldef, MEChA, et cetera as does Home Depot, Wal-Mart and our own Government.

    The protests depicted at that site were also held in Southern California within the last year. You don’t think they’re ‘like-minded’? Don’t be foolish, DavidU.

    The reason you don’t see that stuff on the MSM is because those Globalist Pigs WANT Americans to think ‘They’re just hard-working, good-hearted souls trying to make a better life for their families doing jobs Americans won’t do.’

    What a load of dung THAT is. The government is very complicit in the destruction of the American Middle Class and this invasion of illegals is the first shot across the bow in the New Mexican Revolution.

    DavidU,

    How to make Alan Colmes squirm - use a Democrat 9/11 Commission member’s statements to challenge the prevailing Dem Party talking points:

    The new documents suggest that the 9/11 commission’s final conclusion in 2004, that there were no “operational” ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda, may need to be reexamined in light of the recently captured documents.

    While the commission detailed some contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda in the 1990s, in Sudan and Afghanistan, the newly declassified Iraqi documents provide more detail than the commission disclosed in its final conclusions…

    “This is a very significant set of facts,” former 9/11 commissioner, Mr. Kerry said yesterday. “I personally and strongly believe you don’t have to prove that Iraq was collaborating against Osama bin Laden on the September 11 attacks to prove he was an enemy and that he would collaborate with people who would do our country harm. This presents facts should not be used to tie Saddam to attacks on September 11. It does tie him into a circle that meant to damage the United States.”

    Stay tuned.

    This story is for you:

    Iraq’s embassy to Canada lashed out at the Christian Peacemaker Teams Friday, calling them “phoney pacifists” and “dupes” after the antiwar group responded to the rescue of three of its kidnapped activists by condemning the U.S.-led military intervention in Iraq.

    The Iraqi embassy called CPT “willfully ignorant” and “outrageous,” and accused the Chicago-based group of being on the side of anti-democratic forces in Iraq.

    “The Christian Peacemaker Teams practises the kind of politics that automatically nominate them as dupes for jihadism and fascism,” the embassy’s statement said.

    The Daily Telegraph in London is reporting today that the Christian activists refused to fully co-operate with an intelligence unit sent to debrief them. Based on an interview with a security source, the newspaper claims the activists said co-operating would contradict their Christian principles.

    To focus on budget deficits is to pretend the burden of government spending would magically disappear if only it could be financed entirely from current tax revenue, rather than having a small portion (2.6 percent of GDP) financed by selling bonds. This is a dangerous delusion.

    If the government had never borrowed a dime (which makes no more sense for governments than for homeowners and corporations), all that could have saved is the interest on the debt. But interest on the debt was only 1 percent of GDP over the last four years — the lowest since 1977 and lower than when the budget was in surplus.

    The concept of interpreting the Constitution as a changing, living, mystery Constitution — a mystery because the meaning has been hidden for years, is unknown to people of ordinary intelligence, and known only to members of the Supreme Court and not even all of them — was what politicized the judiciary.

    To do so, I propose a constitutional amendment providing:

    “The Constitution and the amendments thereto duly adopted in the future may be changed, modified, amended or added to only by amendment duly adopted as outlined in Article V of the Constitution. Neither the Supreme Court nor the inferior courts will create law, change, modify, amend, or add to the Constitution, but will interpret the Constitution and amendments in accordance with the common understanding of the relevant provision at the time it was adopted.

    For all the talk about Republican problems in the House and Senate races in 2006, it isn’t as though Democrats are faring much better. According to internal Democrat polling in the House, the party expects to pick up no more than three seats in the House, allowing for several losses by members in up-for-grabs districts.

    That’s not enough to swing the balance of power in the House, and such a middling performance almost assuredly will doom the leadership career of House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, who is less popular among Democrats than President George W. Bush is among all Americans.

    According to Hotline, a recent blogger’s online poll of 14,000 liberal Democrats found 67% disapproved of her. In fact, according to the Hotline, only 19 percent believe her to be even “marginally competent.” And these are her people!

    Though most opponents of immigration are loath to admit it, at least publicly, they’re worried that the huge influx of Hispanics will somehow change America for the worse. And who can blame them for wondering whether the tremendous demographic shift that has taken place over the last few years won’t have unintended consequences?….some estimates predict that by mid-century one out of every three Americans will be of Hispanic heritage. Call it the browning of America….Will the United States become an extension of Latin America, or will the Melting Pot transform Hispanic immigrants into just another American ethnic group similar to the Irish, German, and Italian Americans who are descendants of previous immigrant flows? A study released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau gives reason for optimism that the latter path is more likely. ….Although a majority of Hispanic immigrants are low-skilled workers who lack even a high school education, that doesn’t necessarily mean they will be consigned to low-wage jobs indefinitely, creating a huge new underclass. …..The Census Bureau confirms that a great many immigrants are imbued with an entrepreneurial spirit that puts to shame those of us who were born here. In its study of Hispanic Entrepreneurship, the Census Bureau reports that Hispanics are opening businesses at a rate three times faster than the national average. There were almost 1.6 million Hispanic-owned businesses generating $222 billion in revenue in 2002.

    How to Stop a Civil War By Michael O’Hanlon Monday, March 27, 2006; Page A15, Washington Post

    Administration officials have been right in recent weeks to argue that there is no large-scale civil war underway in Iraq. As long as the Iraqi political leadership remains generally united in trying to calm the situation, and as long as sectarian violence remains more sporadic than strategic (with no systematic ethnic cleansing, for example), true civil war remains a threat rather than a reality. But as President Bush himself recognized in his March 13 speech on Iraq, whoever attacked the Golden Mosque in Samarra on Feb. 22 was trying to spark a civil war.

    But news travels slowly inside the intellectual, social and economic bubble known as the welfare state — of which the UAW was a leading architect in both the public and private sectors. Even now many UAW members consider a job in the auto industry a sort of property right. And the belief is still strong that what is good for the union is good for the country.

    Premium pay, after all, helps prime the national pump, doesn’t it? Never mind the fact that this quaint Keynesian notion was long ago discredited. A given level of compensation is only sustainable if it’s earned through productivity and sales. Protectionism helped sustain the illusion that the corporate welfare state could work, but the market soon worked around it. Toyota and Honda and the others simply set up plants inside the United States itself in places like Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina where unions would have trouble persuading workers to pay fees to get what they were already getting, a good day’s pay for a good day’s work.

    A not so peaceful immigration demonstration.

    Susana Findley, a Gary native whose parents were born in Mexico, said illegal immigrant workers arrived here for the same reason federation members’ ancestors arrived: To find work and a better life.

    “But those racist immigrants forget about that,” said Findley, nodding toward the federation’s camp

    When 63-year-old Chicago Minuteman member Rick Biesada arrived and pulled out his protest sign, he claimed that two counterprotesters yanked it from him. When he yanked it back, the men assaulted him, knocking him to the ground, he said.

    The Lindenhurst, Ill., resident was treated by paramedics at the scene for a gash over his eye and dizziness, spending a few minutes inside an ambulance before returning to the protest.

    “I wished he fell to the ground harder,” Findley said.

  • Corporations such as GE, GM, Ford, Chrysler, and thousands other would find their buildings burned and robbed.

  • American products are boycotted. Everything from butter to cars would be piled up in stores, unable to sell. There’s plenty of products coming from Japan, China, Italy and the rest of Europe.

  • Extensive riots all over the United States. The national guard would be called to aid, but the country would be paralized, because the riots won’t stop. They won’t be able to stop the rage, since it will become a permanent state among immigrants. Illegal immigrants are also from Asia, Europe, Africa. The United States would stop having safe streets.

  • Employees inside corporations or any other business, would start sabotaging the production of goods. It would be impossible for companies to prosper without the good will of their employees.

  • People would start leaving the United States. Including professionals from other countries, because the US would be a hostile place to leave. Without flux of immigrants, the US would loose the edge over other nations. The qualified professionals such as doctors, engineers, etc. would start looking for better places to raise a family. Australia, England, Spain, Italy, etc. would be cosidered as a better choice.

  • That would be the end of the United States as a powerhouse, and it will be welcomed into the third world. Remember that it didn’t become a world power until 1945. Before that, it was just another country trying to survive.

  • This is a blow from the right-wing not only against Latinos, but indirectly to every non-white race . They will keep attacking others. Please post more would-be scenarios here.

    Sounds like the stirrings of violence from our ‘brown-skinned brothers’. Sounds like they want American citizens to ‘roll over’ for them and concede our very nation.

    Sounds like HR4437 doesn’t go FAR ENOUGH!!!

    I love the latest embracement of the Latin immigrants. Republicans continue to instruct us about the culture of low expectations enslaving the lower classes of which the immigrants are a major part.

    In the words of Donald Rumsfeld, this is “the modern day equivalent of” the Dixiecrats of the 50’s/60’s who told us that blacks weren’t really slaves in the old south. Instead, they were being helped up by their masters who wisely knew that they couldn’t care for themselves. Slavery was needful for their own good and the benevolent slave-holders weren’t expoiting them, they were lifting them from the shackles of their own “culture of low expectations”. You see, slavery was (and is) really for the benefit of the slaves, not the enrichment of their masters.

    The British memos show that he LIED to the American public with his claims of WMDs as motivation for invasion. The releases clearly show that he was going to invade irregardless of rather WMDs were found or not.

    Bush is a LIAR. We had impeachment hearings for Clinton when he LIED. Where is the Republican outcry now when it is a Republican president who is the LIAR. To Republicans, morals are something that only Democrats should be held accountable for. What a surprise. Your move, Republican ‘spin-wit’

  • Bush was talking about his belief that his father wasted political capital AFTER he invaded Iraq, not about whether he would invade Iraq in the future.

  • This whole story is anecdotal “evidence” based on hearsay. If there were “tapes” or anything other than recollections, they’d have been on 60 Minutes years ago.

    The NYTimes report provides the latest evidence that the Bush administration is blowing smoke when it insists the Iraq invasion was a last resort and an unavoidable choice.

    Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was calling for an invasion hours after 9/11.

    And Helen’s notorious “since you stepped in the White House” question was no throwaway. Not at all.

    …vice-president Dick Cheney; defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld; Paul Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld’s deputy; Bush’s younger brother Jeb, the governor of Florida; and Lewis Libby, Cheney’s deputy – wrote a blueprint for (Iraqi) regime change as early as September 2000.

    The Bush Blair meeting was just another part of the Bush administration’s drive from day one to justify invading Iraq by taking selective data and pure speculation and making sure they were “being fixed around the policy”.

    But you knew that!

    This immigration “problem” should never have gotten to this point. The laissez-faire attitude that both sides have employed to try to win constituents is politicking at its worst, and any politician who pays more heed to people who cannot vote for them than they do to their own legally voting constituents should be, uh, censured.

    The fact that the GWB administration wanted to go to war with Iraq was documented long before the NY Times article. Former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O’Neill has been quoted many times that invading Iraq was discussed routinely in Cabinet-level meetings prior to 9/11.

    “From the very beginning, there was a conviction that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go,” O’Neill told CBS… “For me, the notion of pre-emption, that the U.S. has the unilateral right to do whatever we decide to do, is a really huge leap.”

    O’Neill, who served nearly two years in Bush’s Cabinet, was asked to resign by the White House in December 2002 over differences he had with the president’s tax cuts. O’Neill was the main source for “The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O’Neill,” by former Wall Street Journal reporter Ron Suskind.

    Suskind said O’Neill and other White House insiders gave him documents showing that in early 2001 the administration was already considering the use of force to oust Saddam, as well as planning for the aftermath.

    “There are memos,” Suskind told the network. “One of them marked ‘secret’ says ‘Plan for Post-Saddam Iraq.’”

    Suskind cited a Pentagon document titled “It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying ‘Go find me a way to do this,’” O’Neill said.

    All the memos and other documents from Tony Blair’s administration simply reinforce the fact that GWB went to war and justified it by lying to the American people.

    American history offers no comparison to what is happening now. Never before has rigid ideology so throughly trumped reality. Most everyone bought into some form of anti-communism. There was good reason to be wary of Soviet-style imperialism. Sadly, Vietnam was the right string and the wrong yo-yo. This mess in Iraq is solely the product of pie-in-the-sky neocon ideology progagated by people with no real world experience. A considerable talent for propaganda allowed them to sucker many who subscribed to a form of rugged individual patriotism and war veterans vulnurable to any group that patronizes them and kisses their hind quarters. To say nothing of men eager to demonstrate their “manhood” without actually doing anything. All were easily rallied to the cause. The trouble was, once the forces were arrayed to push the neocon agenda through the process, the agenda turned out to be stupid and completely unrealistic. Bush’s cute little doctrine of “pre-emptive war” is rapidly being embraced by other countries lest they be America’s next victim. Iran will boot up for nuclear war. You can take it to the bank. You can also bank on us being unable to do anyhing about it. Why? Our troops are bogged down in Iraq! North Korea already has its finger on the trigger. Extremists in Pakistan haven’t gained control of nukes just because they haven’t chosen to do so. America got to be America through ruthless, informed pragmatism-doing what would work best given the circumstances. Now, our country is being controlled by rigid ideologues. When ideology trumps reality, disaster follows. Want an example in history? How about Stalin’s forced collectivization of Soviet agriculture? Millions starved to death. What ultimately awaits us?
