The ACLU (Anti-American Civil Liberties Union) has sent "legal observers" down to Arizona in an attempt to interrupt the Minuteman Project. Their tacticts include physically shoving members of the Minutemen, shining spotlights in their facts from six inches away, and attempting to verbally provoke the Minutemen.
And inbetween harassing the Minutemen, intentionally trying to start fights, and assisting illegal immigrants in coming into this country, they like to kick back and smoke some ganja with each other.
Check out the photos at the bottom. Doesn't that just scream "Fine American Citizen"?
So let's caption a few photos! Leave your best captions in the comments, and I'll send really good authors a few stickers, or something.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - Robert A. Heinlein -

One Big Incestuous Web
DANEgerus has links to the scandals exploding in Canada right now. The more people dig, the more filth comes pouring out.
Canada has become insignificant because they've let themselves be led by a group of power-hungry socialists who care about nothing but their own enrichment, even if it comes at the expense of those who elected them.
It's rather sad if you ask me. I can remember when Canada wasn't a joke disguised as a sovereign nation. I hope they can regain the status that they've lost in the past decade and a half.

So, Tim and I are cleaning the junk out of the guestboook, and some of the comments left by the Leftists are just outright hilarious.
Although there's one that I just can't quite understand....
Who's Jason Walker, and why does this nameless goon think he's a pencil-dicked faggot? And if you're going to call someone names, can't you at least leave a real name? Or an email address?
Anyways, I'm taking the spam out and leaving everything else. I think that comments like this:
....are the perfect example of why the Left should never be in power again.

Jason Walker is a pencil-dick faggot. He will get sodomized in hell.

You guys are all selfish fools! Right-wing politics are terrible! And war is is also a terrible thing! War is bad because people die, and I believe that death is bad. Don't you see how disgustingly selfish you have become?!!!!!!!!! And George Bush licks balls! Left-wingers rule!
....are the perfect example of why the Left should never be in power again.
But WHY is it illegal?!
I mean, c'mon, would stringing spammers up by their toes and whipping them to death with a cat'o nine tails really be such a BAD thing?

Good News, Bad News
The good news is: "they all do it".
Pelosi pressed for trip records
The bad news is: "they all do it".
House Republicans yesterday called on Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to provide documentation to prove that a Washington lobbyist firm did not pay for a trip she and other Democrats took to Puerto Rico in 2001.

Did you hear the one about the woman...
...who found a finger in her Wendy's chili?
Turns out, maybe it was a whopper.
Jail would be good.
UPDATE: Felony theft.
Turns out, maybe it was a whopper.
As it turns out, Ayala has a litigious history. She has filed claims against several corporations, including a former employer and General Motors, though it is unclear from court records whether she received any money. She said she got $30,000 from El Pollo Loco after her 13-year-old daughter got sick at one of the chain's Las Vegas-area restaurants. El Pollo Loco officials say she did not get a dime.So she makes a false claim, it appears, looking for money, and people lost their jobs as a result.
Earlier Thursday, Wendy's International Inc. announced it had ended its internal investigation, saying it could find no credible link between the finger and the restaurant chain.
Sales have dropped at franchises in Northern California, forcing layoffs and reduced hours, the company said. Wendy's also has hired private investigators, set up a hot line for tips and offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to the finger's original owner.
Jail would be good.
UPDATE: Felony theft.
Frothing of the Left
Interesting article here about kneejerk disdain for Pope Benedict XVI in America and in American media.
Good piece that stretches credulity just once, with this:
The New York Times? Ethical?

Shoot.

Rejecting a bid by the parents, a British judge on Thursday upheld a court order allowing doctors to let a critically ill baby die if she stops breathing — a move doctors say is the only humane way to end the child's suffering.Careful, now.

The shrieks continue
The Left is still in hysterics about Pope Benedict the Sixteenth. Let's take a look at what they're saying, shall we?
Andrew Sullivan: Well, I won't even bother linking to him. Suffice to say that unless the new pope came out and stated that God was now a transexual and we'd all be praying to "Gladys" from now on, Sully will still be full of crap about religion.
One person from Kos's little cesspool actually has some common sense.
Of course, what really bothers the left is included in the first sentance. "his generally conservative views". Which in reality is his Catholic views. If the damn pope would just stop being so CATHOLIC, why, the Left would love him to death!
Uh, yeah. Right.
However, as Analog Kid notes, the one sane member of the Klueless Kos Kamp was instantly shouted down by the rest of the oh so "tolerant" left:
Of course, leaving aside the fact that Pope Benedict came from an anti-Nazi family, leaving aside the fact that participation in the Hitler Youth was mandatory for any kid in Germany at that time, leaving aside the fact that Benedict DEFECTED FROM THE NAZI ARMY, gee, what better arguments than to call the new pope a nazi!
And they wonder why they keep loosing election. Hmmmmmmmm........
And it gets better!
Oooo, a Nazi comment and a reference to the Spanish Inquisition! It's a two'fer! Too bad for Lean Left that the numbers show a growing amount of Catholics in America. But then, for a Leftist, make-believe is all that remains.
Let's just cut to the chase, shall we? The Left objects to the Pope because he's a religious figure. It wouldn't matter who the conclave elected, or what the new pope said or did. It could be Pope Buffy I, a nun who used to be a brothel worker in Nevada, and the Left would still be up in arms and throwing their temper tantrums. Because it's not the person the Left objects to -
It's the religion.

There are many reasons to criticize the election of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI, like his stances on women and gays in the church, social issues, his work in crushing liberation theology, his comments in regards to the priest sexual abuse scandals, and his generally conservative views. Calling him a Nazi, however, is unfounded and unfair, and only serves to demean us...Unfounded accusations are unfair, and will only serve to give the wingers more ammunition. Call him conservative, call him reactionary, call him old, call him surly, call him the wrong choice. Just don't call him a Nazi.

Lefty Malone: “I’ll call him a nazi. Never once in his career has he denounced them.”
Heteraetcaetera: Let me see…. 1. Hitler Youth = not a Nazi.
2. Wehrmacht = Not a Nazi.
3. Deserted when illusions failed.
4. Fished out and rescued by US diligence = Not a Nazi.
Hitler himself was a minor landscape artist. Why can’t you people remember that?
SqueakyRat: “They couldn’t find a Nazi. So they chose Ratzinger.”
Sausalito: Hes not my pope! Its one thing to jack-off or throw back a few too many. Its another to be a part of the Hitler Youth!!! Are you guys serious? I remember when the left was trying to say that Bush was shady because his family yada yada yada something to do with Hitlers family. This dude was a part of the movement He was a nazi though. What the fuck else do you call someone who WAS a member of Hitlers youth militia? I am not saying he believed that shit but he did have a choice! You always have a choice even if death is the result.
Of course, leaving aside the fact that Pope Benedict came from an anti-Nazi family, leaving aside the fact that participation in the Hitler Youth was mandatory for any kid in Germany at that time, leaving aside the fact that Benedict DEFECTED FROM THE NAZI ARMY, gee, what better arguments than to call the new pope a nazi!

--Lean Left:"They elected another Pope. It’s Ratzinger - the Goebbels of the Vatican. Un...believable, even for an organization as self-destructively oblivious as this one. Well, for Catholics and the dwindling number of Westerners who still take Catholicism seriously, it’s time to kiss the Dark Ages hello again...The medieval wing of an organization that just barely got over Galileo has now claimed the right to declare itself “infallible” (the irony of which they never seem to get). If you thought John Paul II was bad, wait till you get a load of Pope Torquemada Jr."

What title did Dane use?
Fake Right, turn Hard Left was the phrase, I believe. And it was used to describe Hillary Clinton's actions as of late.
Well, the Hildabeast proves that she's still a sleazy socialist.
Again with the whine of "Women are paid unfairly!" No, they're not. Here are a few questions for you to use on the liberal maggots who raise the hue and cry of wage discrimination.
How many female plumbers do you know? Electricians? Concrete workers? Bricklayers? How about framers or other construction jobs? Fisherman? Crab fishers? Stockbrokers? Engineers? Pilots?
What do many of those jobs have in common? They're damn hard work. Dirty work. You work long hours in unpleasant conditions busting your ass day in and day out. They all happen to pay mucho dinero. And they all happen to be male dominated due to the reasons laid out.
Ask the woman who's whining about not getting paid equally if she wants to spend 12-18 hours a day cleaning shit out of pipes for 20 years. Most likely, she'll look at you and go "HELL NO!". But that's what plumbers do, and they get paid well for it. Ever had to pay for a plumber? Hot damn, that's expensive. The cheapest I've ever paid a plumber was $40 an hour. And yet every plumber who's come to my house was a man.
What you get paid is a matter of the choices you make. I once spoke to a woman who did woodwork, finish and detail work. She was a carpenter, and a damn good one. I asked her why she got into woodworking, and she told me that she wanted to make good money. So she became very good at turning out furniture, cabinets, ect. And she did get paid. She got paid very well.
But she worked for it, just like every man.
Well, the Hildabeast proves that she's still a sleazy socialist.
But today, Hillary is returning to her liberal roots by joining the high priestesses of feminism in marking “Equal Pay Day.” According to feminist calculations, the first four months of 2005 were spent making up for last year’s wage gap; today, women supposedly will have finally earned as much as men in 2004. She will introduce legislation to “fix” this gap and thereby end a grave injustice.

In Why Men Earn More, Warren Farrell — a former board member of the National Organization for Women’s New York chapter — identifies 25 decisions that individuals make when choosing jobs and reveals how, on average, men are more likely than women to make decisions that increase pay. Not only do women take more time out of the labor force and work fewer hours than do men, women also avoid jobs that require a great deal of travel or relocation. Men assume more high-risk jobs — 92 percent of occupational deaths occur among men — and endeavors that require braving the elements outdoors.

The Captain understands...
....just how conservatives are feeling.
We didn't vote for conservatives who would sit on their thumbs and whine. We wanted action. And we're not getting it. What we're getting is a group of whiney cowards who refuse to do anything.
Conservatives don't vote for whiney cowards more than once, as a rule. That's the Democrat's M.O. The Republicans should learn that lesson.
The GOP campaigned on judicial nominations as the second-highest priority for the Senate, and the electorate rewarded them with a healthy gain of four seats, remarkable for an election in which the incumbent president won by a tight margin. After spending a record amount of money on supporting Republican candidates, the electorate has sat back and watched as the Democrats, led by Harry Reid, have uncorked one lunatic manuever after another: challenging Ohio's slate of electors, holding up Condoleezza Rice's nomination while people like Mark Dayton outright call her a liar, and attempting to extort the White House into giving up its Constitutional assignment of nominating the judges the President sees fit for Senate approval.
What has this bunch of Republican milquetoasts done? Nothing.

UPDATE: Well, if you feel like getting some slime on your boots, you can see the reaction of the Left over at Kos's little cesspool.
Hmmmm.... it seems to me that just last week people were shrieking and howling because someone dared say that the Left opposed people of faith! People on the Left and the Right were both saying how horrible it was that people stated how the Left opposed anyone who might be Christian.
And yet.... if you read what they write, and you listen to what they say...
They ARE opposed to Christianity. Unless you somehow think that calling the new Pope a ratfucker and a Nazi is somehow supportive of that whole "religion" thing.
Now excuse me, I need to go soak myself in bleach after visiting that website.

The best thing we can hope for is that this will be the "worse" in "it's gotta get worse before it gets better."
If we're lucky, Pope Ratfucker will be even more reactionary, orthodox, and fascist than he has been in the past. We'll call him the "Pope of NO"

About Damn Time!
So long, TSA. We knew ye too well.
One of my big gripes about Bush is that he's a big government Republican. Hell, these days EVERY politician is a big government fan, since that's how they accumulate power. As bad as Bush is, the Democrats are even worse. The TSA is one example of that. Created by Bush, run by a Democrat, and a waste of time and energy in every way possible. Run by politically correct idiots, afraid of it's own shadow, and failing to keep our airplanes safe, it's been alive way too damn long. It should have never seen the light of day.
Let's make sure it stays dead.

The Transportation Security Administration, once the flagship agency in the nation's $20 billion effort to protect air travelers, is now slated for dismantling.
The TSA has been plagued by operational missteps, public relations blunders and criticism of its performance from both the public and legislators. Its "No Fly" list has mistakenly snared senators. Its security screeners have been arrested for stealing from luggage, and its passenger pat-downs have set off an outcry from women.
Under provisions of President Bush's 2006 budget proposal favored by Congress, the TSA will lose its signature programs in the reorganization of Homeland Security. The agency will likely become just manager of airport security screeners -- a responsibility that itself could diminish as private screening companies increasingly seek a comeback at U.S. airports.

Pro-female? Pro-gun.
The statistical reality is that "shall issue" states, those that issue a concealed carry permit to any law-abiding citizen who asks for one, show a lower rape incidence than states where concealed carry permits are difficult or impossible to obtain. The victim disarmers claim that it's just because those states would have had a lower rate anyway. This claim has been proven false: those states which convert to "shall issue" status show a concomitant decrease in the rape rate. Places which take a proactive stance to promote gun ownership among women show a much greater decrease in the rape rate. A dramatic decrease occurred when the Orlando, Florida police, very concerned about the city's skyrocketing rape rates, instituted a program to train tens of thousands of women in the safe use of handguns. The rape rate decreased 88%.
