Lots of illegals are in this country now and the president is saying those in his party that reject his policy for letting all these people in are not being good Americans. This statement pisses me off to no end. I stand by the president for many of the actions he has taken in the past and still support the fight in Iraq but this situation with the illegals has really gotten under my skin. There will be a virtual meltdown when the full impact of allowing this bill before the house and senate comes in to effect. There is this false argument that people who want the amnesty use when they say you cannot deport 12 million people. How about deport five hundred a week? How about start fining the hell out of these people that do the hiring of illegals. This argument about separating families is ridiculous, if the parent is any parent at all they sure as hell would not go off with out having their child with them. We didn't force these people to cross the border and stay over here and we don't owe them anything because they broke the law and now want us to feel sorry because their child was born here.
Yes, I am disappointed with the stand Mr Bush has taken with this immigration issue. I hope people pull together before it becomes too late and send enough voice to our representatives that they do the right thing. I say once again that this position the president has taken is one I cannot back. Newt Gingrich has taken a strong stance against this process being pushed and I hope that perhaps he can deliver some information to the public that will cause outcries in a volume loud enough that will create some sort of stand down and will kill the possibility of this bill making it into law.

memorial day
Memorial day and I give thanks to all the troops that have served in this latest war and those that have served in all the wars this country has ever fought in. Giving thanks to all those that have given so much by serving and those that gave their lives brings some sadness to this day. We must not forget our fighting forces and we must keep them in our prayers and we must not forget the family of these brave individuals and the sacrifice they make with sharing their loved one with this nation for that period of time they serve in keeping this nation safe.
Today was a very good day for me. I had company from friends and the visit was good even if it may not have been long enough it certainly was good to have them stop over and spend the night. Vick and Sherri live across the state from me and although I still have not gone there, "Las Cruces", to visit them, I will be making the trip later this year.
Tomorrow we plan to make a short trip out to a lake about 12 miles from Hobbs. Years in the past many hours were spent by Vick and I doing our damnedest to catch every fish in that hole and down a couple beers in the process. That time is the past and the lake has lost all its former glory as a fishing hole because now the banks are covered with cat-tails and blocking access to where you can't even cast your bait into the water.
Perhaps some day the state will come to the aid of the lake and make it useful to the fishing public once again. That is the hope but I honestly don't see it happening any time soon. Tomorrow I will go and enjoy the trip and enjoy the time I get to spend with my old friend and hope some day somebody in government manages get the lake back in shape. Who knows perhaps one day one of those soldiers or individuals now fighting overseas will return to find this old lake in good condition, Just a thought...

McCain
McCain has decided to toss into the ring a hat that may not fit. Some in the conservative party tend to shy away from McCain because of his view on immigration. There are other differences but this one seems to have really stirred the ire of many in his party. I will go through more of the issues later in the day if I am able to get back on line before I hit the sack tonight. I will check in later and see if I can get some of my thoughts out and get back to writing.

I'm Back
How long has it been since I jotted anything in my blog? I thought about that today as I lay trying to take a nap this afternoon. I can see from the date it had been some time since I put anything down in my blog. This is only a sign of laziness rather than something profound which was holding me from all this. In the future I hope to write more. I need to do this to be sure of what I go through each and every day.
I figure there has to be some way to get thoughts running around in my head and maybe even crash into one another. When that happens, maybe then some of those words will gather enough momentum and propel them forward into more writing. I hope so because I do need to stir the brain juices. For now I will close my eyes in the hope that tomorrow will bring something I want to write about.

Cooper Union Feb 28th
I happen to like Newt and believe him to be one of, if not the smartest individual around when it comes to politics. The idea of having some of the presidential hopefuls come together for a real debate is wonderful and I look forward to them. I hope to have a few more videos to put up soon.

give me a break!
Congress continues their debate oops, "their charade", on what I see as the necessary first step in cutting funds for the troops. There is much talk of this being the first step and for us to look forward two weeks when they consider the next steps for the military. This is where the quitters fail to meet the goal. I believe the process now will involve the Democrats trying to do the funding of our great military in steps, or perhaps putting limitations on where and when money is allocated to the troops. The congress with their, great knowledge of all things military, will decide continuation, direction, or denial of those funds.
I would like to say this to the people of the Congress. There is this thing which continues to bring me near the point of screaming at my TV. I'm sick and tired of this, "I support the troops but I cannot support the mission crap". Hey Johnny!, I love you son, but I just can't support your team to win this years title. I know I bought you those uniforms. I know you have trained a long time. and I know it is for our state title. I just can't see paying for the playoff. Besides it will upset some of the other teams but mainly Johnny, we just hate the coach. Johnny don't mind, after all you still love Johnny and his team even though you aren't going to send in a replacement and they play short handed.
HEY LISTEN I just found out from several overseas news outlets that many of those inside Iran are now saying they want the terrorists to leave Baghdad and come back to the border of Iran and await further orders. There is also lots of talk inside Syria that the people their want those fighting our troops out of Iraq immediately. Word is the people around the mid-east and many even in Europe are calling on the terrorists to leave that area they can no longer support them in their fight against the USA. I wonder what this will do to the terrorists over there now that they are losing support?
This is great! Now what we need to do at this point is increase our movements in and around the Baghdad area and apply more force towards the enemy. If they now are under this pressure from those countries around that area they will begin to lose their reason for their sacrifices. We must do as much as we can to apply our forces and now that they can see their country men back home calling for their retreat they know the USA and other allies will pursue them with much vigor. No longer can they stand with such determination since they no longer have as much support from their old providers and supporters.
I wish this were true but of course it isn't. I wonder if those terrorist inside Iraq would be discouraged Ms Pelosi, and if their spirits would be somewhat broken? Do you think the terrorists would want to go ahead and continue fighting when so much of their support was now against them? I doubt those fighters would now have as much incentive to blow themselves up now. What would be their reason for doing all that killing now and dying? Ms Pelosi can you now see how the actions of congress would appear to our enemies? What is this terrible hate so many on the far left, and many I believe on the liberal left have for the military? I ask you Ms Pelosi this one last thing, what if we win?
