First They Spit On Our Laws
Then They Spit On Our Flag
There Is Going To Be A Reckoning For This
More Than 500,000 Rally in L.A. for Immigrants' Rights
"Joining what some are calling the nation's largest mobilization of immigrants ever, hundreds of thousands of people boisterously marched in downtown Los Angeles Saturday to protest federal legislation that would crack down on undocumented immigrants,( illegal aliens)penalize those who help them and build a security wall on the U.S. southern border. Spirited crowds representing labor, religious groups, civil-rights advocates and ordinary immigrants stretched over 26 blocks of downtown Los Angeles from Adams Blvd. along Spring Street and Broadway to City Hall, tooting kazoos, waving American flags and chanting "Si se puede!" (Yes we can!). The crowd, estimated by police at more than 500.000, represented one of the largest protest marches in Los Angeles history,"Point of information: There is
NO right for anyone to immigrate to the United States.
There is
NO right for anyone to even
ENTER this country except for US Citizens and Citizens of other Nations who have been
INVITED to enter.
PERIODIllegal entry into this country is no different than someone breaking into a home without the permission of the owners.
Such actions are illegal those who perform it are
criminals. Those who aid and abet them are
criminalsThis has to stop.
We read there are some 12 Million Illegal Aliens inside our boarders. Not
undocumented workersIllegal Aliens.
In
Border Control, Immigration Law Reform, Assimilation at Big Lizards, Dafydd ab Hugh , makes some valid points.
Despite the wishes of some, we are
not going to be able to round up 12 million or more aliens and deport them, that is wishful thinking, it is not going to happen.
I have some other bad news for those who wish it, we can do a better job of controlling our boarders, but we cannot seal them,
Not unless we are willing to go on a War footing, put real numbers of troops on our boarders, with real ammo and
use it. That is not going to happen. We cannot even dismantle the water stations in the desert. The first photos of dead families laying on the South Western sands would bring that to a screeching halt.
Do I maintain there is nothing we can do? No.
We must not try to correct the systems but attack the cause.
Why do so many wish to enter this country?
Opportunity they cannot find in their own countries.
Not much we can do about that but we
can and
must STOP Illegal Labor.
We can dry that well up.
I know it is a red flag for some, but I have to admit to some extent Daffyd's logic has corrupted me.
So go ahead and institute a Quest Worker Program for aliens who have jobs AND for the businesses that employ them,
BUT make the time period for registration for both groups a definite period of time.
After that you are not registered and, you are an alien you get
deported with a permanent bar to re-entry. You knowingly employ aliens who are not registered? You go to
PRISON. You aid and abet an illegal alien and you have legal status?
You
lost that and you
also get deported. You do the same and you are a Citizen you join the businessmen who employed them in the next cell.
If we create a situation were jobs for illegal aliens have serious consequences that would do more to stem the flow.
One final thing that needs to be corrected is the ability of pregnant women to skip across the boarder just before they deliver so they can be the mother of a US Citizen.
Maybe a Constitutional Amendment. Or a declaration by Congress that if neither parent is a US Citizen, for the time of the delivery the location of the delivery inside our boarders shall be the Consulate Territory of the Nation of Origin of the Mother and
not the Sovereign Territory of this Country.

"Der er et yndigt land" (There Is A Lovely Land)
Words by: Adam Gottlob Oehlenschlager
Music by: Hans Ernst Kr?yer
Adopted: 1844
"Derer et yndigt land" was first performed for a large gathering of Danes in 1844, and became popular quickly with the Danish people. It was adopted later that year by the Danish government as a national anthem, but not the sole national anthem. This anthem is on equal status with "Kong Christian",which is both the national and royal anthem.
When the Danish anthem is usually performed or sung, the first verse is played in its entirety, then it is followed by the last four lines of the last verse. (This is true whether the lyrics are sung or not
Recentlty I have been posting music to Illustrate the Diversity of America, this week I have a different motive to express Solidarity with DENMARK I maintain my Support of Denmark, and will later today, post links to and my thoughts about a Danish Editorial "We are being pissed upon by Per Nyholm "
I think I shall title my Post, "There is no "But" in "Freedom of Speech".
When I first started upon my journey through the blogverse I created a
Statement of PurposeNow upon reading it, one can realize that I did not hold to every detail of that original statement, but from it's basic premise, I have never swayed, in my belief that the Blogs are in fact the Committees of Correspondence of the Second American Revolution.
And that it is a Revolution of Information, no longer can we afford and allow elite gateways to control what we can see, hear and discuss.
For I believe that those bloggers who find their way, here and in particular from the Blogs associated with Sam.
HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.
Some of us are more Serious, some of us are more lighthearted and some post the common ordinary things that make one smile and recall that Life without the simple things to treasure is meaningless.
And it is important that all have a platform from which to speak.
As I understand this process you can link to this post and trackback to this post on ANY subject or post you think important. It is open. I will repeat this every Monday.

You Just Might Be A Conservative, IF
In the new WaPo Red America Blog, that has the Kos Kids and DU in a tizzy, a new study indicates that conservative kids might feel paranoid in Berkley?
Well DUH!
"Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative," says the article.
"At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area that social scientists have been tracking for the last 20 years. The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals."

Vets for Freedom
Since we are continuously inundated with news out of the MidEast by those who often don't know a thing about which they speak?
"Operation Swarmer Not Intended As 'Torch II'
Sometimes the press demonstrates such incompetence as to be actually dangerous. The coverage of the latest effort in Samarra in clearing out the terrorists is just the latest example. Operation Swarmer is a significant operation in its scope but mostly for its composition; the Iraqi forces comprise the main battle group of the contingent of 1500 troops and have performed well under the lead of the 101st Airborne.
Since its beginning, however, the press has both hyped the operation and attempted to tear it down as a publicity stunt by the White House. Described as the biggest air assault in three years, the press completely misunderstood this as the biggest air strike since the beginning of the war. As Dafydd ab Hugh reports on his Big Lizards blog, the two are completely different military terms:"
Why not do some reading from those who have
been on the sharp end and
do know what they are talking about?
About Vets for Freedom"Vets for Freedom was founded by a group of Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans who believe in the mission of freedom, specifically Operation Iraqi Freedom, but who have become frustrated with the way the operation has been politicized and reported to the home front.
In January 2006, this group of veterans, enlisted personnel, and officers decided to take action. The result was the creation of Vets for Freedom, a non-profit advocacy group whose mission is to promote the unbiased, nonpartisan truth of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to educate the public and mobilize public support for the Global War on Terror.
The founders and members of Vets for Freedom consist of those who have witnessed the firsthand events, both the successes and failures, of the Iraq War. While their voice has largely been ignored by many policymakers and the media, they have earned the right to be heard and will utilize this organization to lend their insights to this worthy cause.

What If They Gave A Revolution And Nobody Came?
It appears that the planned overthrow of the Government and the Constitution of the United States and the creation of a
"Political Cooperative (that) will put a new, temporary government in place that is comprised of people from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all the organizations---"Originally scheduled for March 15, has been moved to today.
Captain's Quarters in
Were You At The Coup? informs us that their rhetoric has toned down and they are not as they were previously calling for
"all Member Nations of the U.N.; All Representatives and Justices in the World Court and International Criminal Courts; All Human Rights Advocates; All Soldiers and CIA agents and government officials who have been blackmailed or are in fear of the dictators to join us in ending this reign of corporate terror in our government"Michelle Malkin will be on hand to document the lunacy. She promises to let you know
if the revolution breaks out. In other News it seems that yesterday's call for massive demonstrations on the 3rd anniversary of the Iraq War ended with whimpers, rather than bangs.
From Big Lizards in
Anti-American Protests "Fizzle" On War Anniversary"In Sydney Australia, back in 2003, 250,000 protesters rallied against the war. Yesterday, a whopping 500 people showed up. Australia has 20 million people, so this is a turnout of 0.0025% of the population.
Authorities shut down streets in the heart of London's shopping and theater district for the demonstration, which organizers had predicted would attract up to 100,000 people, but police estimated the crowd was about 15,000 people....
In Tokyo, about 2,000 people rallied in a downtown park, carrying signs saying "Stop the Occupation" as they listened to a series of anti-war speeches.
The second-largest protest was in Turkey. Some 5,000 protesters showed up. Considering it is a Moslem country, 5,000 may seem rather small and insignificant... but still, it represents a staggering 0.007% of the Turkish population.
Not to be left out, the mighty Swedes mobilized 1,000 protesters to surround the American embassy. That's 0.01%... a small country, but a doughty batch of protesters!"The French it seems were busy protesting more important things.
Meanwhile, back at le chateau, a few students are up in arms in France (or at least up in les cocktails Molotov). Hat tip Power Line:
The protests, which drew 500,000 people in some 160 cities across the country, were the biggest show yet of escalating anger that is testing the strength of the conservative government before elections next year.
Wow, half a million people. This was by far the biggest protest demonstration of them all, drawing 0.82% of the French population -- more than 40 times the London demonstration in terms of population -- more than 33 times the size in actual numbers.
Alas, we can't really count it -- because they're not protesting the Iraq war. Their boeuf is entirely domestic: the "conservative" government in France wants to change the law to allow employers to fire incompetent employees within first two years, which is currently illegal. (Evidently, the potential of being incompetent is a besetting fear among French youths. Possibly because they spend all their time at l'Universite rioting instead of studying.)
There is extensive coverage of this last issue at
No Pasarn! in among others
Life is static. Nothing should ever change. Feed me. and
