We Need A REALISTIC View Of Islam

About Scott Rasmussen

This is an article that "proves" Rasmussen's first law of politics.  These are the first and last paragraphs of the article.  Read it all.

Scott Rasmussen’s first law of politics is that America’s politicians aren’t nearly as important as they think they are. That law was clearly demonstrated earlier today when the United States Senate finally surrendered to the American people on immigration. Politicians may make things messy for a while, but over the long haul it is the American people who determine the nation’s fundamental policies.

The United States is a nation of immigrants. It is also a nation of laws. Voters want to honor both aspects of the national heritage. And, like good parents trying to instill values in their children, voters want their elected representatives to do the same.

"We Support The Troops"

But just as Fil [Maj. Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr., commanding general of the Army's 1st Cavalry Division] and other battlefield commanders are closing the box on the AQI diehards, American forces have another enemy to contend with: This one on Capitol Hill where the Reid-Pelosi crowd is hoping to quash their efforts. According to Pelosi:

We have many arrows in our quiver, and we are sharpening them.

Though the Dems have no love for the military (yet pretend they do), they seem to love military metaphors.

Enforce The Law

What can be done now on immigration.  Enforcement now.  Read the article.


Nor does the country. The public is rightly dismayed at our incapacity to exercise a key attribute of sovereignty: control of the borders. For decades, our elected officials have passed immigration laws that they lack the political will to enforce. Among the fallacies of “comprehensive reform” was the notion that this situation could be fixed instantaneously. It cannot. But by rejecting a solution that would make the problem worse, we may have taken the first of many steps toward a better immigration system.

The next step ought to be President Bush’s. As divisive as this debate has been, it did reveal a consensus on the need to enforce current laws. The president should accept that consensus and act on it. If necessary, he should request additional authority and resources for the purpose.

Under current law, the border can be secured and the administration can crack down on scofflaw employers. Contractors can be required to enroll in the government’s employee-verification system as a condition of doing business with the federal government. The Social Security Administration identifies tens of thousands of W-2 forms with false or stolen Social Security numbers. The IRS can fine employers who file a significant number of such forms.

I'm Not Undertaxed

Read this article and you can see some interesting information about Warren Buffett.  Read it.

Billionaire Warren Buffet, sage of Omaha, is a man we admire as an investor. He's done a brilliant job of ferreting out value from stocks that are out of favor. He's made many people rich, and that's a noble thing. But when he mounts a political dais at a $4,600-a-plate fundraiser for Sen. Hillary Clinton, and begins saying things that just can't be true, we start to wonder why.

Buffett told Clinton's supporters he makes $46 million a year in income, but is taxed only at 17.7%. Meanwhile, he claims, his secretary pays 30% in taxes, and the rates for others who work for him are as high as 39.7%.

Sounds unjust, if true. But we don't know what tax system Buffett is looking at. It certainly isn't the one we use here in the U.S. We went to the IRS' Web site and used its tax calculator. We put in various incomes, from $50,000 to $350,000 a year — the latter being quite a bit for a secretary to make in Omaha.

They Want To Get Us Killed

The latest London threat is more proof the left's denial about the Islamist threat isn't just wrongheaded. It's suicidal.

"What If?"

An article about "What If" Saddam was still in power.  Now when the liberals say we should not have invaded,
or they tell you about the polls from Iraq people that say things were better under Saddam, then you ask them
[before he was hung] we should put him back in power you would get, "oh no" well here's a what if. 
Read it here.

Given the problems and US casualties in Iraq, polls show a large majority of the American people believe the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. Yet, if we imagine what the world would look like today if Saddam Hussein had not been deposed, it seems clear that almost no outcome in Iraq would be as adverse to the interests of the United States as today's world with Saddam still in power.

Ann Coulter And John Edwards

From a press and article on the mrc.org site about Ann Coulter's remarks about John Edwards.  Read it all here.

Some leading national media are misreporting conservative Ann Coulter’s remarks about liberal Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards, including the NBC Nightly News, CNN’s American Morning, The Washington Post’s ‘Reliable Source,’ and MSNBC’s on-the-hour announcer. This is cut-and-paste reporting and it is disingenuous.

Here is the entire quote:

“But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So, I’ve learned my lesson. If I’m gonna’ say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.” (ABC, Good Morning America, June 25.)

Dead Bill Walking

From an article on the defeat of the Senate Immigration Bill.  I have this much of it here because it
was good.  Read it all here.

The Senate's 53-46 defeat of the immigration bill Thursday was more than a victory for rule of law over alien amnesty. It was a triumph of citizens' will over politicians' disdain. Real reform must follow.

Over two decades, border and labor laws have been so neglected that some 20 million illegal immigrants have entered the country with impunity. No lawmaker blames himself for this state of affairs. He just insists it's a question of more money.

Entrenched politicians not only tried to shove this bill down voters' throats. They repeatedly implied that voters weren't smart or reasonable enough to understand why they were doing it. They blamed talk radio, as if their constituents were sheep. They also made the bill long and secretive.

All that did was fuel voter anger. In turn, lawmakers declared war on their constituents, calling any who questioned the bill "yahoos," "bigots" and "simpletons." President Bush, who had a key role in crafting this bill, fell into some of this, warning against letting details "frighten people."

The bill's co-sponsor, Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, took a lower road, calling the bill's opponents Nazis. What opponents really sought, he bellowed on the Senate floor Thursday, were "gestapos" to remove illegals, contemptuously confusing anyone seeking rule of law with a proponent of a lawless police state.

Majority Leader Harry Reid called talk-show critics of the bill "generators of simplicity" and vowed they'd eat their peas sometime. "We will come back," he said. "It's only a question of when."
