Learning an Illegal Lesson in Our Public Schools

Nothing shocks us anymore, especially when it comes to illegal immigration.

The latest outrage is much closer to home. In fact, it's at home — in our nation's heartland to be specific — in a high school classroom in Ohio.

Public school students were assigned the role-play project of immigrating to and then living and working in the United States ... illegally.

Isolated Arizona Town Resorts to Second Amendment to Save Itself

Backwater Farming Community Forced to “Keep and Bear Arms” to Battle Deadly Crime Wave

Our Founding Fathers insisted upon including the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights because they recognized the fundamental human right of self-defense, whether against government tyranny or individual criminal aggression.

Those on the Left, however, conveniently deny the Second Amendment’s terms while simultaneously concocting imaginary Constitutional “rights” – access by foreign enemy combatants to domestic federal courts comes immediately to mind – and dismiss the right to keep and bear arms as a mere anachronism.

This ill-tempered, violent, foul-mouthed, hateful, abusive, beastly woman wants to be your President and have total control, as your commander-in-chief of our military, the very military for which she has shown incredible contempt & disdain throughout her public life. Surely we the people of the The United States can easily do better than this.

What is up with this?

Questioners as well as questions. From the folks at Hot Air, 2 and 1/2 minutes of what a little investigation will get you. As my friend Bryan asks about the last debate, "Why did so many of the “undecided voters” who asked questions at last week’s Democrat debate turn out to be either anti-war, labor, race politics or Democrat party activists?"

Every Democrat should be personally offended by a party system that not only doesn't offer a legitimate field of candidates for president (where are Kerry, Gore or Lieberman?), but can't even withstand the idea of actual random Democrats asking random questions.

Newsflash for the party, Hillary, and every other clown standing up on the stage: If you're afraid of facing the American people without a net, how in God's name can you face a world filled with tyrants who will not play your game?

Subject: $104,655.60 Ad in the Washington Post

Here is someone with the money to fund a rebuttal to what Howard Dean,
Democratic National Committee Chairman, said recently that many
Republicans have never done an honest day's work in their life. The following full
page ad was placed in the Washington Post by a businessman named George J.
Esseff, Sr. He paid $104,655.60 to run the ad and only did it because he is
sick and tired of the way that "the rich" are portrayed by liberals these
days. It is a great read.
**********************************

Maybe you're a Republican?

In today's America ask a growing number of high school and college
students, their teachers and professors, the self-anointed media elite
and/or hard working men and women of all ethnicities, the question, "What
is a Republican?" and you'll be told ".. a rich, greedy, egotistical
individual, motivated only by money and the desire to accumulate more and
more of it, at the expense of the environment, the working poor....and all
whom they exploit..."

I am a Republican - And I am none of those things...and I don't know any
Republicans who are!

WHAT I AM first and foremost, is a loving husband of some 52 plus years,
the father of four and an American who's proud of his country...and his
country's heritage

WHAT I AM is the grandson of immigrants who risked every-thing, including
their lives and those of their children, to escape tyranny in search of
freedom

WHAT I AM is a man who grew up during the Depression and witnessed first
hand the effects of the Stock Market crash and the soup lines that
followed. I watched as both my parents and grand parents, who had very
little themselves, share what food they had with a half dozen other
families, who had even less. < BR>

WHAT I AM is someone who worked his way through college by holding down
three and four jobs at a time and then used that education to build a
better life.

WHAT I AM is a husband who at age 24 started his own business for the
"privilege" of working 60, 70 and 80 hours a week, risking everything I
had including my health, in search of a better life for myself and my loved
ones.

WHAT I AM is a businessman whose blood, sweat and tears....and plenty of
them..., made it possible for me to provide a secure living not only for
my family and myself, but also for literally hundreds of my employees
throughout the years. Employees who in turn were able to buy their own
homes, raise their own families and give back to their communities and
their country.

WHAT I AM is a man who believes in God; a God who has blessed this
country... and all for which it stands.

WHAT I AM is someone who knows, if you doubt miracles exist in today's
world, you need only to look into the face of those who received
them....and the eyes of those who give them.

WHAT I AM is an American who's proud that his President embraces a belief
in God; proud of a President who understands, as "politically incorrect"
as it may be, there is evil in this world and for the security and safety of
all freedom loving people everywhere, it must be confronted...and it must
be defeated.

WHAT I AM is an American who takes comfort in the knowledge that our
President refuses to allow decisions concerning the very safety and
security of this nation, to be governed by the political whims of foreign
governments.

WHAT I AM is tired of hearing from leading Democrats who see only
negativity in America; racism in her people; class warfare in her society
and "political incorrectness" in her character.

WHAT I AM is a form er democrat who now understands that it is the soldier
and not the reporter that guarantees us our freedoms of press, speech and
dissent.

WHAT I AM is a man who believes in the sanctity of life. A man who is
repulsed by the pandering of the political left for votes, at the expense
of the unborn.

WHAT I AM is a husband and father who believes in the sanctity of
marriage and the preservation of the family unit.

WHAT I AM is an ex-movie goer who is repulsed by those insecure, socially
inept, elementary thinking, ego-inflated "entertainers" who have appointed
themselves "experts" in the fields of national security and geo-politics
and then use their forum to attack this nation, its leaders and its
actions....much to the delight and encouragement of our enemies.

WHAT I AM is an American who understands the difference between
"censorship" and "choice." Evidently, these individuals do not, because
when these same "celebrities" receive public ridicule for their offensive
actions, the first thing they yell is "censorship." What they seem
incapable of understanding is...the right of free speech and dissent is
shared equally by those offended...as well as those who offend. I support
and will continue to support those films and performers whom I choose to
and refuse to support those I don't. It is my right as an American a right
I will continue to enthusiastically exercise.

WHAT I AM is a voter, tired of politicians who every time their voting
records are subjected to public scrutiny, try to divert attention from
their political and legislative failures by accusing their opponents of
"attack ads" and "negative campaigning"....and the news media who allow
them to get away with it.

WHAT I AM is a Catholic who loves his God and his Faith....and who's been
taught to respect all religions whose teachings are based in love, peace
and charity. As such, I am embarrassed and ashamed of those individuals in
both private and public life whose decisions and actions are devoid of any
sense of character or morals; individuals who are only driven by what's
best for them....rather than what's right... often times at the expense of
many....including our national secu rity.

WHAT I AM is a realist who understands that the terrorist attack that
murdered hundreds of innocent Russian children could have occurred here,
in our heartland. That's why I sincerely believe America needs now, more than
ever, a President who sees with a clear and focused vision and who speaks
with a voice when heard by both friend and foe alike is understood,
respected and believed

WHAT I AM is eternally grateful to Ronald Reagan for having the bravery to
speak out against Communism and the courage of his convictions in leading
the fight to defeat it; and George W. Bush for the vision, courage,
conviction and leadership he has shown in America's war on terrorism
amidst both the constant and vicious, personal and pol itical attacks both he and
his family are made to endure.

WHAT I AM is a human being, full of numerous faults and failures, but a
man nonetheless who though not always successful has continually strived to do
"what's right" instead of "what's easy." A man who is challenging the
religious leaders of all faiths, to not only preach to their congregations
the fundamentals of "what's right" and "what's wrong," but to also then
hold them accountable for their actions in both the public and private
sectors.

WHAT I AM is disgusted with the Courts who on one hand call the murder of
a pregnant woman a "double homicide," but then refer to the abortion of her
baby as "pro-choice".

WHAT I AM is someone deeply troubled by a political party which embraces a
candidate whose primary "leadership" qualities center around his
protesting of the Vietnam war and his labeling the honorable men and women who fought
in it, (50,000 of whom gave their lives in that action), as rapists, and
war criminals (John Kerry). That same political party then stepped forward
this year to block the appearance of a true Vietnam war hero, retired
Admiral and former United States Senator, Jeremiah Denton, (a man who
spent seven years and seven torturous months in a North Vietnam prison), from
speaking before an open session of the California legislature as part of
that state's 4th of July celebration. The reason Democrats gave for
refusing to allow this American hero to speak before their state
legislature was because of the "conservative" nature of his views. As an
American, that troubles me deeply....as well it should you. (Are you
listening Mr. D?)

WHAT I AM is a man who feels the need to spend, ONE HUNDRED & FOUR
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED & FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS ($104, 655.60, tax paid) of his own
money, to purchase this advertisement, in order to set the story straight. Some
may say this money would have been better spent feeding the world's poor.
At the risk of sounding self-serving, as an American and as a Republican,
for the last six decades of my life, I have done exactly that...and more.
Following the examples of my parents and grand parents, I have used my
earnings to feed the poor, shelter the homeless, provide housing for the
elderly and medical care for the sick.....and continue to do so...and I'm
not alone in that work.

WHAT I AM is someone who is paying for this announcement at my sole
expense in hopes of opening the eyes of those led blindly by ill-informed elements
of our great nation, who, through either ignorance, or malicious intent,
repeatedly attack and belittle those of us who belong to a political party
that holds true to the belief, "The rights of the governed, exceed the
power of the government." For those interested, I am speaking only as a
tax-paying individual who is in no way associated with the Republican
National Committee, nor with any of its directors, or delegates.

WHAT I AM is a man who understands, "the American way of life" is a
message of self-empowerment for all

WHAT I AM is an American who is grateful that our nation gives each of us
the opportunity of self-determination and the right to benefit from the
fruits of self achievement.

WHAT I AM is an American who wants to preserve that way of life for all
who seek it.

WHAT I AM is blessed to be an American.... and proud to be a Republican

"I'm Tired" Lieutenant Colonel, U. S. Army

"I'm Tired"

Two weeks ago, as I was starting my sixth month of duty in Iraq, I was forced to return to the USA for surgery for an injury I sustained prior to my deployment. With luck, I'll return to Iraq to finish my tour.

I left Baghdad, and a war that has every indication that we are winning, to return to a demoralized country much like the one I returned to in 1971 after my tour in Vietnam. Maybe it's because I'll turn 60 years old in just four months, but I'm tired:

I'm tired of spineless politicians, both Democrat and Republican, who lack the courage, fortitude and character to see these difficult tasks through.

I'm tired of the hypocrisy of politicians who want to rewrite history when the going gets tough.

I'm tired of the disingenuous clamor from those that claim they 'Support the Troops' by wanting them to 'Cut and Run' before victory is achieved.

I'm tired of a mainstream media that can only focus on car bombs and casualty
reports because they are too afraid to leave the safety of their hotels to report on the courage and success our brave men and women are having on the
battlefield.

I'm tired that so many Americans think you can rebuild a dictatorship into a
democracy overnight.

I'm tired that so many ignore the bravery of the Iraqi people to go to the voting booth and freely elect a Constitution and soon a permanent Parliament.

I'm tired of the so called 'Elite Left' that prolongs this war by giving aid and comfort to our enemy, just as they did during the Vietnam War.

I'm tired of antiwar protesters showing up at the funerals of our fallen soldiers, a family whose loved ones gave their life in a just and noble cause, only to be cruelly tormented on the funeral day by cowardly protesters is beyond shameful.

I'm tired that my generation, the Baby Boom -- Vietnam generation, who
have such a weak backbone that they can't stomach seeing the difficult tasks
through to victory.

I'm tired that some are more concerned about the treatment of captives than they are the slaughter and beheading of our citizens and allies.

I'm tired that when we find mass graves it is seldom reported by the press, but mistreat a prisoner and it is front-page news.

Mostly, I'm tired that the people of this great nation didn't learn from history that there is no substitute for victory.

Sincerely,

Joe Repya, Lieutenant Colonel, U. S. Army

George Carlin's Solution to Save Gasoline

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop
using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That
would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would
come down. Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border.
When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a
canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants
to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a
soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he
will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.
He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This
option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for
the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for
themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway,
without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved.

What Kind of man would do this?

Jack Tilley, a Sergeant Major of the Army, was with a group of
people who recently were visiting wounded
soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington,
DC.

He saw a Special Forces soldier who had lost his right hand
and suffered severe wounds of his face and side of his
body.

Sgt. Tilley wanted to honor him and show him respect without
offending, but what can you say or do in such a
situation that will encourage and uplift?

How do you shake the right hand of a soldier who has none?


He decided to act as though the hand was not missing and
gripped the soldiers wrist while speaking words of
comfort and encouragement to him.

However, there was another man in the group who knew exactly
what to do.

This man reverently took the soldier's stump of a hand in both
of his
hands, bowed at the bedside, and prayed for
him.

When he finished the prayer he stood up, bent over the
soldier, kissed him on the head, and told him that he
loved him.

Sgt. Tilley was awed by the powerful expression of love for
one of our wounded heroes he was witnessing! "What a
beautiful Christ-like example!" he thought, moved to
tears.

What kind of a man would do such a thing?

It was the wounded man's Commander-In-Chief, George W. Bush,
and President of The United States.

This eyewitness account was told by Sergeant Major Jack Tilley
at a Soldiers Breakfast at Red Stone Arsenal, AL, and
recorded by Chaplain James Henderson, who was
stationed there.

ACLU Sues City Over Jesus Painting

The ACLU is at again!

The American Civil Liberties Union sued the city of Slidell, La., on Tuesday for displaying a painting of Jesus in a courthouse lobby, saying it violates the constitutional separation of church and state.

The ACLU sued after the Slidell City Court refused to voluntarily remove the picture and a message below it that reads: "To Know Peace, Obey These Laws." The ACLU says the portrait — an image of Jesus presenting the New Testament — is a religious icon of the Eastern Orthodox branch of Christianity.

"We did not file this lawsuit because the ACLU is anti-religion ... We did file this lawsuit because we believe this display is clearly in violation of the law," said Vincent Booth, president and acting executive director of the Louisiana ACLU chapter.

The suit was filed on behalf of an unidentified person who complained to the ACLU about the picture. Named as defendants were the city of Slidell, St. Tammany Parish and City Judge James Lamz. St. Tammany Parish is being sued because it partially funds the court, the ACLU said.

On Saturday, Lamz said the picture would stay up unless a federal judge ordered it removed. He said he didn't believe the portrait violates the Constitution, but the issue should be decided in federal court.

Lamz could not comment Tuesday because of the pending litigation, his office said.

Before refusing to take the painting down, Lamz consulted Douglas Laycock, a professor at the University of Michigan Law School who has argued before the Supreme Court.

Laycock said he told Lamz that the legal issues in the case aren't clear-cut and could set legal precedent.

"I don't know how far the two sides will want to push things," Laycock added.

The painting has been on display at the courthouse for nearly a decade and hadn't provoked any complaints prior to the ACLU's recent objections, said Michael Johnson, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian civil rights group representing the city and parish.

Johnson, whose group is often at odds with the ACLU, said the painting sends an inclusive message of equal justice under the law. He said the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that similar displays in public forums are constitutional.
