Those Wonderful Little Ron Paul Bots Strike Again
2008-04-28 05:40:00
THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE GOP!It is called Restore the Republic.  There is a master plan for Ron Paul Bots to take over the GOP county by county.  Everyone has been laughing, saying this can’t happen, but evidently these little freaks are trying to take the GOP away from normal, decent Republicans.  And, we’re so Republican, we’re allowing it to happen. The good thing is it looks like they aren't doing all that well.  The bad thing is these freaks are organized.  They remind me of the critters who couldn't be swatted in some bad sci ...

Chertoff Lied About BLM Report on Border Fence
2008-04-28 05:30:00
FENCE WOULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGEDemands are finally being made to force Michael Chertoff to either resign or be removed from his position as the Secretary of Homeland Security.  It is possible the man has a track record of not telling the truth. Last September BLM officials informed Michael Chertoff that the proposed border fence would cause irreparable damage to the fragile San Pedro aquifer and the Riparian sanctuary.  Evidently Chertoff LIED about the information the BLM gave to him and just went on as planned, ignoring the Constitution of the US. “…Yet when U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael ...

A Magnum Opus (Or) The Beginning of a New Book?
2008-04-27 07:16:00
SATURDAY, APRIL 26You will find my four part Cochise County immigration piece below.  Have fun reading it.  I have a feeling it could be part of a new book.  I did some copy/paste from a couple of my books:  TRAVESTY and A CHURCH FOR HELLDORADO.  Please note that all the passages I used in the books are have a copyright on them and cannot be used without my permission.  While I was working on the article this afternoon, I had one of those Eureka Moments!  After 15 years of stalking Wyatt Earp, I looked at his life and ...

A Cochise County Perspective - Part I
2008-04-27 06:47:00
COCHISE COUNTY, IMMIGRATION & CRIMELast weekend some serious charges were leveled at The Pink Flamingo, questioning methods and sources.  Several days ago Harold Hutchinson at Called As Seen  detailed some of the problems.  I was accused by someone who alleges to be from “the border” of not knowing what I’m talking about – of lying.Years ago, when my sister and I were in high school, a women from our church and her husband confronted my mother, making some off the wall accusations about my sister and I.  Our mother never said anything, but went the high school ...

YOU'LL FIND YOUR TOMBSTONEEveryone and their pack mule knew the vast desert along the Mexican border in what was then Pima County , A. T. (Arizona Territory) was literally ‘dripping’ with rich mineral deposits.  The problem was the Apache.  They were angry.  They were fierce, and they were often fatal.  Several ill-fated expeditions to Goose Flats, where everyone knew there was bonanza in silver, always ended in disaster.  In 1879 Ed Schieffelin, a prospector who was working as an army scout out of Fort Huachuca (the same one) announced he was going to head over to the Goose Flats area ...

BACK TO COCHISE COUNTYEveryone wanted a piece of the action.  They wanted their ‘fair share’.  They wanted the money.  Becausethe Apache were “under control” it was easier for Mexican merchants to cross the border along specific trade routes that had been established a thousand years pervious (and are still in use today).  Tombstone had the money.  They could afford things.  They paid big money for things, at highly inflated rates.  The Mexican traders would make their way back into Sonora, rich, their pockets full of Tombstone gold. Remember, we’re talking the 1881 equivalent of a TRILLION DOLLARS being ...

FRIDAY, APRIL 25A LITTLE HOUSEKEEPING:I’ve cross-posted my video expose of the Minutemen over at The Subway Canaries.  Since The Subway Canaries are on the SPLC’s blog-roll, with luck someone will pick up on the abject hatred you see in these videos. I have a Blog Critics article about Blogging John McCain. I’ve spent the day working on several detailed posts, the first of which is located right below this one.  It took something like 3 hours just to format it.  At least I finally feel like I’ve “caught up” for a few days.  I’ll actually finish today’s ...

All You Need to Know About the FLDS Cult (and It Isn't Nice)
2008-04-26 04:48:00
ARE FLDS PARENTS VICTIMS?“…FLDS conditioning begins at a young age, when children are taught the outside world is evil, says the author. Instead of hide-and-seek, children play apocalypse. Girls learn they're worthless and must blindly obey their husbands, most of whom are chosen for them. Women are admonished to "keep sweet," to stay in harmony with their husbands, who are their priesthood heads and whose will they must not only obey but also anticipate.  Their salvation is at stake. A woman gains eternal life only through her husband, and at his whim, she lives in paradise as a ...

Rape, Abuse, Perceptions, & Mothers

RAPE IS RAPEToday I am blogging lite.  I’ve had a very strange day, escorting my god-daughter around town, taking her to lunch at a local eatery (non chain), then to her consult with Leroy as to her ‘make-over’.  We were at the shop of one of my best friends, when a COLLECT call from her confessed pedophile father rang through on her cell.  Knowing what I do of the situation, I told her not to answer, call her mother, and have her contact the DA.  I watched a 14 year old girl who was having a fun day go ...

Today is St. George’s Day (My Patron Saint)

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23Blog Critics has just published my piece about blogging John McCain. Funny how the Lord works.  Last year I realized that St. George was my patron saint through an interesting occurrence.  I’ve always thought he was.  My protector is the Blessed Virgin of Guadeloupe – FYI.   Today Forward Day by Day highlights the verses I live by.  After I read the passage, it is quite apparent that St. George is my Patron Saint .  1 Thessalonians 5:12-28.  Verses 16-18 are the verses I live my life by:16Rejoice always, 17pray without ceasing, 18give thanks in all circumstances; for ...

Why Are Republicans Having Such Problems Raising Funds

COULD IT BE – IMMIGRATION?Earlier today I spoke to our local Women’s Republican group, delivering what amounted to a partial doom and gloom prediction.  While the talk was primarily about the various blogs for John McCain, I said the following:The implications for the GOP could be disastrous if we do not change our ways and modernize our way of thinking.  This is precisely what a group of us are attempting to do.  If we cannot get the rank and file every day members of the Republican Party to perhaps re-think the wheel a little, I am afraid we ...

Proof a Republican Can Never Win – They’re Attacking Sarah Palin

CHOOSING LIFELet's be honest here.  I think Sarah Palin is the perfect choice for John McCain's VP.  It is terribly calculating to mention this, B - U - T she is now by far the absolute perfect choice for VP.  In fact, Draft Palin mentions that even a Dem Congresswoman now thinks Palin on the ticket would be the voice of doom for them. "...U.S. House Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), who sat on the shows panel of experts, was absolutely wowed by the Governor and started throwing out lines like, "You better embrace this woman quick!", "That is ...

What Does John McCain Have In Common With George Washington?
2008-04-22 05:08:00
TEMPER TEMPEREvidently it is perfectly acceptable for other Presidents and candidates to have tempers.  It is acceptable for anyone but John McCain.  Strange, isn’t it?  LBJ had one.  They say JFK’s was explosive.  Lincoln had one.  And George Washington ’s temper was so bad he was known to punch out arguing officers, and had a mouth so foul he is secretary would shake in terror when he would was “poetic”, so what’s wrong with John McCain having one?  (Even Ronald Reagan had one).It seems to me if a person isn’t capable of losing his/her temper there’s something wrong.  Not ...

OBAMA TO DISCUSS PUBLIC FINANCINGLast week I wrote that I think Barack Obama could be on the verge of having money problems.  I know the latest FEC reports show him way out ahead, but we need to remember the reports are dated to the end of March.  In April, sources report that he is spending something like 2.2 mil a day.  That’s a heck of a lot of money.  The man has milked his subjects for nearly $250 million.  I don’t see how he can continue at that pace.  Just how much money is out there – from small ...

SATURDAY, APRIL 19There’s not much going on.  Last night I made the mistake and opened the balcony door late in the evening. (It was a bit warm).  A bug flew in and ended up down in my bathroom.  Someone (and we all know which little pink nose kitty) knocked my alcohol scent infuser over – spilling about a cup of flammable liquid into the bathroom carpet.  Good thing it was citrus flavored. The scent was so cloying I couldn’t sleep. Finally realized if I put the towels I used to soak as much up out of the carpet as ...

The Great Immigration Debate

A DEBATEStrataSphere pointed me to it the debate.  Right Voices is hosting a forum on immigration. The following is my comment, plus a bit more.  If we don't get a handle on the movement of drugs across the border, nothing is going to matter. The problem is - no one wants to believe it. The thing that frustrates me is the fact that the hard-line anti-immigration supporters are obscuring the real issue:  the trafficking of illegal narcotics.  The only time the subject is even mentioned is when an “illegal” either on drugs or trafficking drugs commits a crime that ...
