May First; Illegal Immigrant Walkout Day or May Fools Day

I have not said much about the illegal alien situation.  It is one of those things that other bloggers who are both more passionate and more eloquent on the subject have already said just about everything that can be said.  

I guess Monday illegal workers plan to stage a walk out.  Some of the illegal aliens want to shut down certain cities while demanding amnesty. Well I for one don’t think their little snit on Monday will shut down anything in my home town. So how do they expect to convince me and people of my area of their sincere desire to become Americans? Is shutting down cities and getting a free pass on the illegality of their presence here suppose to persuade me that they will be meaningful contributors to the American way of life? Don’t think so.

My position on this is simple. First build a wall. It is said that good fences make good neighbors. Lets be the highest, thickest and best neighbors with Mexico we can be.  Next deport ALL illegals. No matter where they are from let’s just ship them home. Then let those who are serious about becoming part of America come in through the front door like they are suppose to. Lastly NO amnesty. None. People who break our laws need to be punished not coddled. Illegal aliens should not be rewarded with citizenship. And yes I know it is not PC to call them illegal aliens. But no one can ever accused me of being PC.  Someone once said  “Illegal aliens are undocumented immigrants just like rapists are undocumented boyfriends”.  (If you know who said that, send me the link so I can give credit.)

I fully expect the media to play up the events on Monday. But I am thinking it will be a day like other days.

This World Keeps Getting Weirder

The story Alamo Heights teacher's killer wants $35 million worth of 'justice' tells how a convicted and condemned killer seeks justice.
Ronnie Joe Neal, a killer sentenced to die, wants justice.
Not for the schoolteacher he raped and murdered. Not for the daughter he abused and impregnated. Not for the litany of crimes he's committed over two decades.
No, Neal wants justice for himself. For the way he's allegedly been mistreated in the Bexar County Jail.
So the other day he sued the county and four of its officials for $35 million.

This psycho nutjob tried to kill himself and failed so now he is suing the county because for
"outrageous conduct by government, law enforcement and medical officials who exhibited willful, despicable regard for human life and a gross negligence toward Plaintiff that shocks and would shock the conscience of any reasonable prudent human being."

But it gets better. He claimed he was retarded but the jury didn't buy it. Now he claims he's brain damaged as a result of his suicide attempt when the county officials did nothing to aid him.
On the one hand, Neal claims to be mentally debilitated.

On the other hand, he claims to understand the legal jargon contained in a 17-page lawsuit.

At the end of the complaint are the words, "I, Ronnie Joe Neal, do hereby certify and verify under the penalties of perjury that the foregoing complaint I have read in its entiretiy (sic) and every statement madie (sic) thiein (sic) is true and correct to the best of my knowledge."

Hmmmm. If he is suffering from anoxic brain injury and mangaes to understand and file a 17 page legal complaint, it verifies a belief I've held about lawyers for some time. But I doubt any of it is true. I think Mr. Neal was put up to it by his lawyer James Myart, who also represents Cynthia McKinney.

Retarded to begin with, suffers oxygen-deprivation brain damage, and yet he can remember enough senesations, timelines, and medical conditions to file a 35 million dollar law suit. I don't think anyone will buy this. But I almost wish he gets a settlement. Then the family of his victim will have something to go after.

Speaking of Epidemics, How About that Made Up One Called AIDS

I am not one of those wingnuts that believe that AIDS was created by God to punish gays, or manufactured by the government to control black population or anything like that. I do believe that most of the hysteria surrounding the epidemic spread of the disease is pure leftist hype. And I never get tired of being right. Media Monitor has this story: The Post and the Phony AIDS Crisis :
"The Post editorial declared, 'It's been clear for a while that UNAIDS, the agency responsible for these statistics, was reluctant to contemplate good strategies for fighting AIDS lest these undermine global support for expanded funding.' The Post found the U.N. guilty of publishing 'dubious AIDS data.'

The FAIR Foundation, which stands for Fair Allocations in Research, had known about and exposed the dubious data. On its website, it highlighted how the UN AIDS office, the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Institutes of Health, and AIDS activists 'continually speak of AIDS decimating the world and use that argument to argue for more research funding.' It had posted the John Donnelly Boston Globe article of June 20, 2004, explaining how the figures had been exaggerated.

'Recent studies in Kenya have confirmed millions of Africans previously thought to have AIDS are disease free,' noted the FAIR Foundation. In Kenya, as the BCC reported on January 9, 2004, estimates had put the figure at 15 percent, when a subsequent survey found only 6.7 percent infected."
So the folks at the U.N. lied, as usual. Then the media picked up on it and spread the lies, as usual. Then two years later they finally admit they lied, well after the fact and when nothing can be done to undo the damage, as usual.

I have been accused by liberals of not caring enough for the poor victims of AIDS. Well I do feel for the infected children born to infected mothers, or a blood recipient who got tainted blood, or an innocent who was deliberatedly infected by some diseased jerk. But I have no sympathy for people who insist that they can continue to live in a self destructive fashion and demand that I fork over funding to cure their disease. The media has played the public for fools and has manufactured an epidemic. They employed terror tactics by claiming it is widespread among heterosexuals when it wasn't. And then they swore that Africa would be decimated by AIDS but again they lied.

Millions upon millions of dollars were directed toward resarching what is essentuially a preventable disease. Think how much closer to a cure for cancer or diabetes we could have gotten if the leftist fear peddlers had just been honest with us. But they know they couldn't convince sane people to divert funds from other research based on the truth. So they manufactured a crisis to manipulate us into doing what they wanted, as usual.

Little Known Facts About Ohio

Well you may have wondered where I've been (or not.) I am going to tell you anyway otherwise I would have nothing to post. I spent the weekend in the Ohio State capitol of Columbus. I went down to meet some people I only know from the internet. We told that to everyone we encountered this weekend. You can just imagine the stares. But it's true. I frequent GOPUSA, a conservative political forum. Some of the people decided to have a meeting in Columbus. Since it is only a couple hours away I went. Conservatives are crazy.

We went to the Franklin Park Conservatory.

It's a great place if you are into flowers and winged vermin.

Inside the conservatory there were wondrous displays. Here we find an Amish farm. Note how tiny the Amish people are.

This was a problem for border patrol agents when the Amish immigrated to Ohio. Entire communities of Amish people were smuggled into the area in a single suitcase. Many thought their fanatical adherence to archaic technology was faith based. In actuallity it was size based. They couldn't find cars, phones, or electric stoves in their size.

This also explains why Amish like to stay away from "modern" communities in favor of their own. The first Amish settlement was in the backyard of Jerry Spencer next to his outdoor pool. The entire community was wiped out by a flood when Arlen "Fatty" Spencer did a cannonball off the high board. And now you know. If you want to read more about my trip and see pictures of the crazy conservatives who went, check out the forums at GOPUSA and find the "Ohio Road Trip" thread. Tell them ChristianBuckeyeMan sent you.

Oh the Hallowed Halls of Higher Learning (Redux)

First let me say that I am not pleased. This is the second time I have had to write this post. Whenever I redo a post I’ve already written, it never turns out the same. I hate that. But I wanted to point out a couple of goings on in the world of Academia.

First and close to home is the story in the news about a librarian at Ohio State University - Mansfield. He has been accused by three professors, two of whom are openly gay, of harassment. Did this guy snap them on the butt with a towel? No. Did he scream fire and brimstone while hurling Bibles at them? No. In fact he did absolutely nothing to these men directly. What he did was recommend to incoming freshmen students, four books by conservative authors. WorldnetDaily’s Book-banning 'gay' profs forced to drop allegations.Librarian accused of 'sexual harassment' after recommending 'Marketing of Evil'

Scott Savage, a devout Quaker, is head of Reference and Instructional Services at the Bromfield Library on Ohio State University's Mansfield campus. As a member of the university's First Year Reading Experience Committee, Savage had suggested four books be considered as required reading for incoming freshmen: "The Marketing of Evil" by David Kupelian, "The Professors" by David Horowitz, "Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis" by Bat Ye'or, and "It Takes a Family" by Sen. Rick Santorum. Savage made the recommendations after other committee members had suggested a series of books with a left-wing perspective, by authors such as Jimmy Carter and Maria Shriver.
However, three professors – two of them openly homosexual – filed a complaint of discrimination and harassment, contending Kupelian's book was "hate literature" which "threatened" them and made them feel "unsafe" on campus. After a 21-0 faculty vote (with 9 abstentions) on March 13, the school's Office of Human Resources put Savage under "investigation."

It was The Marketing of Evil which got their panties in a wad. It openly condemns the pro-gay agenda. "Oh, he hates me. Oh he’s spreading hate speech. Oh I don’t feel safe at work now. Oh he’s harassing me." Oh give me a break. The school rescinded the faculty ruling. No doubt because of the notoriety given the situation by the national media and bloggers. And probably because Scott Savage has the Alliance Defense Fund defending him.

So is the case over?
Not by a long shot, says David French, Savage's attorney and director of ADF's Center for Academic Freedom, who says the librarian is carefully "weighing his options."
"Scott's exploring litigation – he has already filed an internal complaint accusing the professors of a false allegation of harassment. But he is definitely exploring possibilities of litigation," said the ADF attorney.
"While we're glad there was no finding of harassment – that's merely common sense on the part of the university – we're upset there hasn't been a direct communication of that fact to Scott or his attorneys."

Well good luck to Mr. Savage. On the upside all the publicity has driven The Marketing of Evil to the top of Amazon.com's current events best seller list.

And the rewrite wasn’t half bad although it turned out completely different than I had originally written. I will be driving past Mansfield on my way to Columbus where the main OSU campus is of course.

Further south still in the bluegrass state of Kentucky a liberal moonbat professor incites her students to destroy a Pro-life exhibit and gets FIRED!
Sally Jacobsen, a professor of language and literature at Northern Kentucky University (NKU) has been dismissed from her post after she incited a group of students to destroy an approved pro-life display erected by a campus pro-life student group.
Jacobsen, who also headed the NKU women’s studies program for three years, told the Kentucky Enquirer she had become so emotional at the sight of a field of white crosses planted as a symbolic cemetery for aborted children, that her strong feelings justified her action.

Of course they did. Liberals are always justified by their feelings. That’s what makes them liberal and why you cannot reason with them. How do you argue with someone’s feelings? Fortunately NKU officials gave Ms. Jacobsen a dose of Red State Reasoning.

The university’s policies state that even tenured faculty can be dismissed without pay for misconduct. It reads, "A staff member who conducts himself in a manner that reflects unfavourably upon the University, the department, and himself will be subject to immediate discharge, without advance notice and without further pay."

In a statement published on the university’s website today, Votruba said, "While the University supports the right to free speech and vigorous debate on public issues, we cannot condone infringement of the rights of others to express themselves in an orderly manner."


So Ms. "I’m-so-pro-abortion-that-the-sigh-of-little-white-crosses-makes-me-feel-crazy" Jacobson’s severance pay was written on a reality check. Mr. Minority has The whole story here with his timely and insightful comments.

Arrrggghhhh!!!!!!!

Blogger for Word has lost my latest post! It's hard enough to post on a semi regular basis without having to do things twice! Aaaaarrrrgggghhh! I hope I calm down enough to get motivated to REDO the whole thing. Or if I am lucky it will show up on the server. I am not holding out any hope given the notification of scheduled outage.

Since I have your attention I was going to tie in my trip this Friday to Columbus to the post since I have to drive by Mansfield. Anyway I am going to meet some of the people who frequent the GOPUSA forum in Columbus. I plan to post from there this weekend.

More Leftist Hypocrisy

Well its a day ending in "y" so that means somewhere the left is doing something hypocritical. Well there was this teacher who in preparing his students for a math test decided to propagate a racial stereotype against Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice.
The question read, "Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300-foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second." The question went on to ask when the watermelon will hit the ground, based on a formula provided. The question propagates a racial stereotype and denigrates Secretary of State Rice, said Perryman. While Rice's last name wasn't mentioned, the reference was clear, he said.

"How many Condoleezzas spell their name that way and how many Condoleezzas are associated with a federal building? It doesn't take much to connect the dotted lines," he said.
Well that did not sit well with the students. The school met with 150 people over the incident and the teacher involved was fired and made an example of how our society does not tolerate bigotry of this kind. Yeah right. Nothing happened. In fact the school didn't even release the name of the teacher.
The college declined to release the name of the teacher who wrote the question. Floten said the teacher has apologized and requested cultural-sensitivity training.
Wow sensitivity training. That'll teach 'em.

I have no doubt that the reason this is downplayed is because Dr. Rice is a conservative African American in the Bush Administration. Had she been a liberal then this teacher would have been hung out to dry. The race-baiters would have descended like locusts and devoured the guy (or gal). But where are then now? The most powerful woman in the world is maligned and not a peep. Harry? Danny? Al? They must have left the race card in their other pants.
