Christmas should not be celebrated, except as a day of atonement for all the harm brought upon the world by the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition, a tradition that began with a wrathful God that once flooded the world to destroy all life except for a boat load of survivors just because he was angry with the pathetic beings he created in his own image. Supposedly he created the world, but only because he is a bully that needs to be worshipped by his cloned children, who are severely punished if they choose to worship a different god, such as nature, and become romantic poets or philosophers or scientists.
His so-called chosen people, the Jews, used the belief that they are the raison d'être of a 14-billion-year-old universe to conquer the Canaanites and appropriate the Canaanites’ homelands, and nothing in their thinking and behavior has change since then. The Holy Land remains an open sore of human suffering.
Christians expanded the focus of that aggression to include all the peoples of the world and nature herself, which Christians consider to be either the devil’s workshop or raw material for their person use—and nothing more. And of course Christians, like the Jews and Muslims, cannot help fighting one another, each antagonistic group believing it possesses the truth, never considering the possibility that none of them possess the truth.
Islam is most noted today as a militant religion obsessed with fighting, having matured culturally no further than the pre-Renaissance Christians. Perhaps the greatest evidence of the failure of Islam is the internal bloodletting occurring today in Iraq and Palestine among various Islamic groups, which is not to imply that somehow Christendom has overcome its aggressive ways. It has not, as demonstrated by America’s own Christian Ayatollah, President Bush, and his religious war against the Iraqi infidels. And even the great bloodletting of the twentieth century was inspired by ideologies that can be considered offshoots of the Christian will-to-power.
As humanity approaches its end caused by societal decay, war, disease, and natural catastrophes such as global warming (actually global warming is becoming the mother of natural catastrophes), it becomes evident that the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God is a false God, a God incapable of creating harmony for humanity because he (appropriately named given he is the product of male chauvinism) has proven himself to be a God that inspires disharmony and chaos. But this negative capability in no way demonstrates his being all-powerful, for he has no power over his children without acting as a divine Santa Claus passing out such benefits as miraculous cures and eternal life. His weakness is demonstrated especially during Christmas when his followers abandon him to engage in an obscene bacchanalia of shopping and worshiping the god of consumption.
Nevertheless, those who celebrate Christmas are acting in accordance with their faith, believing they are entitled to everything, that they should not be denied a single wish. That is why Christian nations have intruded into the affairs of the Middle East, for the same reason they invaded and appropriated the homelands of the indiginous peoples of the world, because they believe it is their God-given right to do so, just as Jews believe God gave them the right to the homeland of the Palestinians. Of course, Muslims believe that they have the right to slaughter men, women, and children in the name of Allah.
The Judeo-Christian-Islamic God has brought horror upon the world; thus Christmas should not be a time of celebration, but a time of mourning and despair, especially given the fact that these theologies continue to sow their seeds of greed, destruction, and sorrow.
Christmas cannot be time of time of celebration until the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition has come to an end, but I am afraid that time will never come because, as that brilliant secular Jew Sigmund Freud explained in his The Future of an Illusion, these religions are security blankets needed by peoples who have not fully matured into adulthood. They truly are the God’s children. He would also say that their religions are inspired by the ego self (the I and the me). If there be such a thing as a true (i.e., good) religion, it would have to be one that promises the believer nothing but his or her own love for the world.

No Country for Old Men and America's Multicultural Nightmare
Be scared. It is not just a story. It is what is happening to America and Europe.
No Country for Old Men could have been titled No Country for Americans. An allegorical reading of the movie gives a frightening look at America’s future, and the present situation in many U.S. cities and states. Ostensibly, the story is about a Mexican drug deal gone awry. The villains are scads of Mexican killers, but one especially, sociopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, who is unstoppable.
The good guys are a hapless bunch of Americans (Texans, specifically) who range from foolish and unlucky to downright stupid. The Vietnam veteran, Llewelyn Moss, falls into the first category. He believes the arrival of the Mexicans is to his good fortune, even though the scene of slaughter should tell him otherwise. Llewelyn is clever and brave but no match for the evil that has crossed the border from Mexico.
In an allegorical interpretation of the story, Chigurth, along with the other Mexican killers and drug dealers, represents the Hispanic immigrants who have been invading America for decades, bringing their criminal way of life with them. Like illegal immigrants, Anton shows up at every nook and cranny of American society: the highways, businesses, trailer parks, motels, the suburbs, even a police station, and everywhere he goes mayhem follows.
To those who would say this interpretation is too extreme, I recommend Lisa Ling’s documentary The Most Dangerous Gang in the World, a documentary film made for National Geographic. It is about “the rapid spread of the ultra violent gang MS-13, which has infected big cities and small towns across the country.” Of course, MS-13 is just one of hundreds of Hispanic gangs spreading across the United States. If street gangs can be classified as sociopathic (and I believe most can), then MS-13 is the Hannibal Lecter of Hispanic street gangs now terrorizing what were once American communities.
L.A. is just one example. To quote Lisa Ling, “Growing up in Los Angeles, it’s hard not to notice the graffiti that covers the sides of buildings, walls, fences and trucks in many parts of the city. It looks like meaningless scribble, but it’s used to mark territory. Though [L.A.] is home to Hollywood and the entertainment industry, large swaths of the city are also claimed by violent street gangs.”
According to the United States Government Accountability Office, 270,000 illegal immigrants served jail time in 2003, representing 21% of the federal prison population. It is estimated that currently 27% of federal prison inmates are criminal aliens, noncitizens convicted of crimes while in this country legally or illegally.
A 1996 National Youth Gang Survey revealed that Hispanics made up the largest percentages of the gang members in large cities (44%), small cities (33%), and suburban counties (50%).
It is thus not surprising to read in the local paper about violent crimes involving Hispanics. For example, the headline of the Our Region section of the October 29 San Diego Union-Tribune reads, “Homicide-free streak shattered in violent weekend.” The article tells about five men stabbed, two of whom died. The two who died had Latino names. Hours later the police responded to two separate fatal shootings. One of the two had a Latino name. Deputies were also searching for a man suspected of shooting his estranged wife. The man was described as a Latino who “should be considered armed and dangerous.”
In the same section was a report of a “man with a shaved head and a semiautomatic handgun carjacking a woman outside Wal-Mart." The man pointed a gun to her head. The ethnicity of the man was omitted, even though there was an eyewitness. In addition, according to Wikipedia the ethnic makeup of the 2007 population of South San Diego is Hispanic 68.1% and White 12.9%. Thus, most likely the man was a Hispanic gang member.*
A man was also described as being run over by a car thief stealing his SUV at Qualcomm Stadium. The authorities later spotted the car near the U.S.-Mexico border and a suspect was arrested.
In Escondido one man was shot dead two wounded. The dead man was Latino.
Finally, in the same section was an article titled, “Residents protest surge in crime rate.” This was in regard to the rising crime rate Baja California Mexico. One concern was kidnappings, which were “up for the third year in a row, with 220 so far this year.”
Most recently (December 5) we read about the killing of a high-ranking police officer in Tecate, Mexico. He was shot to death in his bed. The killing occurred after the discovery of a drug tunnel leading to the U.S. Also found was a shipping container filled with tightly wrapped bundles of marijuana.
And in the same issue of the San Diego Union-Tribune we learn that “There were more than 30,408 [immigration-fugitive] arrests in fiscal 2007,” twice that of the preceding year.
In other words, Mexico, like many of the other nations south of the U.S. border, have become criminalized societies, and allowing their citizens to enter into America is like opening the doors to a prison and allowing the convicts to invade the surrounding communities. Were the Hispanics not allowed into the country, the crimes they commit would be committed south of the border instead in American communities.
No Country for Old Men is an allegorical depiction of the violent crime America has allowed to brutalize American communities. Frighteningly, the movie also suggests that American law enforcement is unable to protect American citizens from the Hispanic crime wave spreading throughout the country.
In the movie the America’s defenders are an ineffective crew of worn-out old-time sheriffs such as Tom Bell, played by Tommy Lee Jones, or inept younger deputies. There is even a swaggering American hitman who proves himself no match for the Mexican killer. (In other words, to reference another movie that is currently out in the theaters, America has no Beowulf capable of dealing with Hispanic Grendels invading the U.S.)
In addition, most American citizens in the story seem as mentally challenged as the deputies. The message seems to be that Americans are too haggard or dull-witted to be a match for the cunning, ruthless, and driven Mexican killer who looks upon the Americans he encounters with disdain and disgust. I can’t say the depiction is inaccurate after seeing images of Americans waiting throughout Thanksgiving night at stores such as Wal-Mart for the Black Friday shopping spree, and then rushing into the stores like cattle with shopping carts when the doors opened. America seems to have become a land of complacent consumers who could care less about what happens to the country.
Recently we have seen that the movie applies equally to European nations, which will soon become no place for civilized human beings. Moslem hooligans have been rioting in France, destroying property and attacking police or anyone else who doesn’t look Arabic. A while back, well educated and financially successful Muslims in Great Britain sought to blow up planes headed for the U.S. These people are the Islamic version of the psychopathic killer in No Country for Old Men.
What Europeans can’t seem to understand is that the Muslims who immigrate into Europe hate Europeans. And one can argue that given America’s support of the Jewish occupation of Palestine and George Bush’s attempt to dominate the Middle East in a manner reminiscent of the Crusades, the Moslem world has good reason to hate the West. Nevertheless, Europeans are foolish to allow those who hate them to settle in their nations, just as Americans are fools to allow Hispanics to create a Hispanic nation in America. The reason is simple: the conflict between the invaders and the invaded will never end, and in fact will become far worse as the invading populations continue to grow in number.
There appear to be many reasons the Europeans tolerate the Islamic Trojan Horses they have allowed into their nations. Perhaps the most important is a Pollyannaish naiveté based on the false belief originating during the Age of Reason that if you give people the educational opportunity to become rationally enlightened that they will give up their irrational beliefs and attitudes and allow reason to become the basis for universal harmony. However, for a number of reasons that will never, ever happen.
Take the French rioters, for example. First of all, they hate the French because their homelands were probably colonized by the French. Second, many if not most of them could care less about education. Third, they are members of an aggressive religion that celebrates violence and is especially hostile toward nonIslamic religions. Fourth, they consider the nations they came from as their true homelands, not France. Fifth, they do not believe French law applies to them. In fact, they may not believe that any Western civil or moral law applies to them. Sixth, they hate living in a society that is not an Islamic theocracy.
I suggest watching the movie Paris, Je T'aime to gain some insight into how Arab men behave in Paris. In the segment titled Place des Fêtes an African man is attacked and stabbed to death by Arabs. The person I saw the film with and who lived for six years in Paris said that is exactly how Arabs in Paris behave. She added, they especially have no respect for Western women.
At the end of the movie No Country for Old Men the viewer discovers that once the problem arrives, it remains, just as for the Trojans, once they allowed the horse to enter their city of Troy, it was too late. Given that perspective, it is too late for both Europe and America and all their citizens can do is what the old sheriff Tom Bell does: Give up and watch the bad guys take over.
*I assume the carjacker’s identity was not given for reasons of political correctness and profit. This may benefit the ethnic group in question, but it does a disservice Americans overall by giving a distorted impressive of the impact of a particular ethnic group on American society. The American people deserve the whole truth about what goes on in their communities, especially now when the welfare of those communities is being jeopardized by illegal immigration.
However, I am afraid Americans can never expect such truthfulness from organizations and individuals who profit from illegal immigration (e.g., politicians, church officials, business leaders, and union officials) because being truthful might insult the Hispanic community, an important source of votes, dollars, and membership.
And you will never get honesty from Latino spin doctors such as Ruben Navarrette, who calls for honesty in the immigration debate but really provides a Pollyanna gloss favoring illegal immigrants. What this Latino rhetorician wants is to open the gates protecting America from the Hispanic Trojan Horse. This is understandable and as it should be since he is speaking on the behalf of his people.
What is intolerable is the gringo turncoats who betray their people each and every day. Had the Bush Administration told Americans what was really known about so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq and the administration's real motives for going to war, America would not now be bogged down in a war that has done far greater harm to America than the 9/11 attacks, which Iraq had nothing to do with, and has diverted money and manpower that could have been used to protect American borders.
The fact is, lies are America’s Achilles heel. They more than anything else will destroy the country. This is especially true when liars run the country. (The difference between Navarrette and Bush is the former is a rhetorician, the latter a liar.)
By the way, a full account of the carjacking was provided by the North County Times, a newspaper that is willing to tell the whole ugly truth even if the color of crime** is offensive to certain groups:
“According to a police report, a 35-year-old woman waiting in a 2006 Lincoln Navigator
for her daughter outside the Wal-Mart was approached by a man with a semi-auto
handgun.... He is described as Hispanic, in his 20s, 5-feet 6-inches tall with a heavy build and
shaved head.”
And I take back my earlier criticism of the San Diego Union-Tribune because in more recent reports (Dec. 2 Sunday paper) the SDU-T did provide the whole truth about the criminals. First was a Bank of America bank robbery in Carlsbad: “The robber was described as Latino, 5 feet 8.” Second was a robbery of El Torito Market in Carlsbad: “Two masked robbers held guns on a store clerk and demanded cash....One robber held a shotgun to the employee’s head, and the second robber held a handgun to her ribs....The gunmen were describe as Latinos.” Third was a stabbing that occurred in Carlsbad: “A Carlsbad man was stabbed in the stomach during a party altercation....” The suspect was described as “Latino.” Gee-whiz, Latino-land does sound like No land for Old Men, or any law-abiding Americans.

Never Forgetting the Homeland Illegal Immigrants Are Taken From Us
In the November 28 issue of the San Diego Union-Tribune Ruben Navarrette was waxing nostalgically in an opinion piece titled “Never Forgetting Where We Came From.” Navarrette begins by recounting his leaving his home in the California Central Valley and feeling guilty about turning his back on family and friends. Then he references expressions of nostalgia on the part of David Letterman, Bruce Springsteen, and the television show October Road.
Next, he points out that American young people leave their hometowns for the greener pastures of bigger cities. That, he explains, is why Governor Tom Vilsack of Iowa proposed recruiting illegal immigrants to help alleviate the state’s perpetual youth drain. What he does not explain is that the farmers, meatpackers, and other businessmen prefer, like Wal-Mart, to hire illegal immigrants for slave-wages than to offer honest wages and benefits to their own people.
In Navarrette’s words, “some folks are looking for immigrants to bail them out.” I would put it differently: Some folks are looking to get richer even if it means destroying their communities. Navarrett says that others resist “because they fear the cultural changes that immigrants might bring.” No kidding! FEAR is the key word here.
One illustration of what is to be feared if one’s community becomes a barrio is provided in the same issue of the paper in a story titled “Leader of Anti-Crime Group Attacked.” The leader is Alberto Capella, “who has spoken out boldly against violence and corruption in Baja California,” but who was “yesterday on the verge of tears,” having just survived “an attack at his house by heavily armed assailants,” his house “pockmarked with 220 shots.” CRIME, CORRUPTION, and VIOLENCE are the cultural changes that immigrants bring that ordinary Americans (those who cannot live isolated in affluent safe communities) fear.
And you might remember the recent story on Tijuana titled “Residents Protest the Surge in Crime Rate.” The president of the Baja California Citizens Council for Public Safety, Alberto Capella, said “kidnappings in Baja California are up for the third year in a row, with 220 so far this year.” So why would Americans not fear having the crime, corruption, and violence that is rampant in Mexico and other nations south of the border being brought—legally or illegally—into their communities?
As a rhetorician what Navarrette seeks to draw the reader into the universality of the theme of nostalgia for the home left behind so that it can be applied sympathetically to illegal aliens who have left their national home behind to invade the U.S., saying, “And I bet you thought that protesters waving Mexican flags were making some sort of obnoxious political statement. Nope. It’s a personal one.” Of course, the Mexican flags were a political statement, which was that THE HISPANIC NATION IN AMERICA IS UNITED. But Navarrette is right when he says that the flags expressed a personal sentiment, which is Mexico, not America, is the first home of the Mexicans-in-America. And everywhere the Mexicans go in America they create mini-Mexicos called barrios.
Navarrette intentionally uses equivocation when he tries to get his reader in the mood for understanding the nostalgia the illegal immigrants feel for their homeland by implying that leaving home to go off to college is similar to leaving one’s national homeland to go off to live, work, benefit, and multiply in someone else’s national homeland. But that is not the situation. The situation is that Mexicans consider themselves first and foremost Mexicans living in America. Mexicans will never be Americans for two reasons. First, their homeland is next door. Second, they see Americans as gringos, i.e., as their enemy.
Mexicans have hated Americans ever since the Americans took a large part of Mexico, which Mexicans call Aztlan, and Americans will always hate Mexicans for invading their country illegally and because they know that the invasion has been encouraged by the Mexican government, and now a Mexican television network, TV Azteca, will be providing English lessons on television in America. What better way to ensure that the millions strong civilian army that now occupies the U.S. will remain?
Navarrette says that for Americans “who never forgot where they came from and still remember the road back, it shouldn’t be so hard to relate” to the homesick Hispanics who have set up camp in America. That is like saying the Iraqi people should feel sympathy for the homesick Americans soldiers who illegally invaded Iraq. I don’t think so. Beside, the Mexicans still have a homeland to feel nostalgic about. Soon Americans will feel nostalgia for a homeland that will have been taken from them. Then every road back will lead them to a barrio. Take, for example, Navarrette’s hometown of Fresno, California. Latinos are now the dominate group in Barrio Fresno.
Next, he points out that American young people leave their hometowns for the greener pastures of bigger cities. That, he explains, is why Governor Tom Vilsack of Iowa proposed recruiting illegal immigrants to help alleviate the state’s perpetual youth drain. What he does not explain is that the farmers, meatpackers, and other businessmen prefer, like Wal-Mart, to hire illegal immigrants for slave-wages than to offer honest wages and benefits to their own people.
In Navarrette’s words, “some folks are looking for immigrants to bail them out.” I would put it differently: Some folks are looking to get richer even if it means destroying their communities.

As a rhetorician what Navarrette seeks to draw the reader into the universality of the theme of nostalgia for the home left behind so that it can be applied sympathetically to illegal aliens who have left their national home behind to invade the U.S., saying, “And I bet you thought that protesters waving Mexican flags were making some sort of obnoxious political statement. Nope. It’s a personal one.” Of course, the Mexican flags were a political statement, which was that THE HISPANIC NATION IN AMERICA IS UNITED. But Navarrette is right when he says that the flags expressed a personal sentiment, which is Mexico, not America, is the first home of the Mexicans-in-America. And everywhere the Mexicans go in America they create mini-Mexicos called barrios.
Navarrette intentionally uses equivocation when he tries to get his reader in the mood for understanding the nostalgia the illegal immigrants feel for their homeland by implying that leaving home to go off to college is similar to leaving one’s national homeland to go off to live, work, benefit, and multiply in someone else’s national homeland. But that is not the situation. The situation is that Mexicans consider themselves first and foremost Mexicans living in America. Mexicans will never be Americans for two reasons. First, their homeland is next door. Second, they see Americans as gringos, i.e., as their enemy.
Mexicans have hated Americans ever since the Americans took a large part of Mexico, which Mexicans call Aztlan, and Americans will always hate Mexicans for invading their country illegally and because they know that the invasion has been encouraged by the Mexican government, and now a Mexican television network, TV Azteca, will be providing English lessons on television in America. What better way to ensure that the millions strong civilian army that now occupies the U.S. will remain?
Navarrette says that for Americans “who never forgot where they came from and still remember the road back, it shouldn’t be so hard to relate” to the homesick Hispanics who have set up camp in America. That is like saying the Iraqi people should feel sympathy for the homesick Americans soldiers who illegally invaded Iraq. I don’t think so. Beside, the Mexicans still have a homeland to feel nostalgic about. Soon Americans will feel nostalgia for a homeland that will have been taken from them. Then every road back will lead them to a barrio. Take, for example, Navarrette’s hometown of Fresno, California. Latinos are now the dominate group in Barrio Fresno.

News Flash: Vice President Dick Cheney without Heart
Vice President Dick Cheney underwent an examination for an irregular heartbeat. During the examination doctors discovered that the irregular beat was actually caused by gas and that the Vice President is missing a heart. “This is very rare,” commented one of the physicians treating the Vice President. The physician went on to say that Mr. Cheney was the first patient lacking a heart that he had encountered during his career as a cardiologist. He explained that in the past there have been speculations that such men as Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Adolf Hitler might have lacked a heart; however, either empirical evidence unavailable because the body had been destroyed or was never found or a heart had been found, even if severely diseased. "Nevertheless," the doctor said, "a human being without a heart is not a contradiction and therefore not logically impossible."
Political scientists and philosophers quickly began speculating on the possibility that had the Vice President had a heart, that perhaps the war in Iraq may have been avoided and that the billions of dollars spent on the war might have been devoted to addressing urgent needs in America, such as water shortages; the spread of disease; mortgage foreclosures; deteriorating infrastructure such as schools, bridges, and dams; and the growing homeless populations.
Some scientists have even speculated that President George Bush himself, and perhaps even Donald Rumsfeld and Karl Rove, could be lacking a heart; however, the president turned down a request to be examined.
When asked about how Cheney’s condition would be treated, the doctor leading Cheney’s medical team said that a mechanical heart was being considered.

Americans Have Less to Be Thankful for This Thanksgiving
That American have less to be thankful for this Thanksgiving was a thought that came to my mind as I was reading Ruben Navarrett’s recent propaganda piece title “Honesty in the Immigration Debate.” Navarrett begins by saying “Bill Richardson rocks.” Well of course he does. Richardson is a Hispanic and one of Mexico’s key allies in its invasion of America.
Navarrett suggests that Richardson is auditioning for a vice presidential nomination and recognizes that “the audition is going well.” If Richardson is successful, America will be only one heartbeat from becoming a Hispanic nation. Thus Navarrett’s excitement is understandable. Imagine President Richardson vetoing every bill that he considers anti-immigrant. And imagine all the federal judges and thousands of other appointees having Spanish surnames.
Navarrett thought it was terrific how Richardson characterized as dysfunctional the porous border with Mexico, the bottleneck immigration program, the U.S. Congress’ inept handling of immigration, and the political discussion of illegal immigration. Most Americans would agree and believe the solution would be to shut down the border altogether, but that would require bringing home U.S. troops so they could protect the home front. Of course, that is not what Navarrett has in mind, which is to have no border at all with Mexico.
He criticizes Americans for “falling into old habits and repeating familiar depiction of immigrants—legal or illegal—as inferior to natives, defective in their culture, slow to assimilate, prone to criminal activity, and devoid of any positive values. However, the 1996 National Youth Gang Survey revealed that Hispanics make up the largest portion of gang membership—44 percent. The high school drop-out rate for Hispanics 45 percent. Concerning sexually transmitted disease the National Library for Medicine said that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 1991 the rates of reported congenital syphilis cases among Hispanics were substantially above the national average for non-Hispanic whites as were rates of primary and secondary syphilis. Finally, one report warned that while overall illegal drug use among U.S. teens was down, Hispanic teens' use of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine outpaced use by their white and black peers. In other words, by allowing the Hispanic invasion, American is importing the problems associated with third-world nations.
These are just some of the inconvenient truths that one can find about Hispanics living in America (and the news south of the border, which Navarrette also ignores, is not any brighter). Why the blinders? Because Navarrette is a Hispanic rhetorician whose job it is to pangloss the effects of Hispanic immigrants upon American society. But these problems are not the key issue for millions of Americans. The Hispanicization of American’s communities is. In other words, most Americans do not what America transformed into Amerxico, regardless of how attractive Hispanic culture might be to Navarrette and Richardson.
And why is it that Canadians are not invading America? Because Canadians have not created a dysfunctional society. The unpleasant fact here is that there is a fundamental difference between Canadian and Mexican cultures.
Navarrett says “Amen” to Richardson’s saying, “We should stop demonizing immigrants.” Well of course Richardson and Navarrett would believe this: they are Hispanics. But from the perspective of Americans, the Hispanic invasion is a threat to America in the same way demons were thought to be a threat to individuals. Remember Rosemary’s Baby? Well, that is what is happening to America: it is being possessed by an alien culture. It is the act of possessing and transforming that is demonic, not necessarily the people themselves (though Hispanic drug cartels and street gangs look pretty demonic).
Navarrett applauds Gov. Schwarzenegger’s saying that Americans should channel “their anger over illegal immigration toward the federal government and not toward immigrants.” But this is a red herring argument designed to distract from the main issue: that Hispanics have illegally invaded America and have become the seeds of a multitude of social, economic, and cultural problems in this country. As far as the federal government is concerned, the U.S. government is already an object of Americans’ fear and loathing.
Finally, Navarrett accuses those who are critical of immigrants as being racist. He does this by saying that the critics’ defending themselves will tell you that their “angst” is caused only by those who enter the country illegally, not by immigrants who enter the county legally. He calls this defense a “lovely sound bite.”
Angst is a form of fear, and what Americans fear is the loss of their homeland, which is what Mexico and many Mexican organizations have in mind for much of the United States. It has already occurred in many parts of the country. Recently, a friend told me he went into a Wal-Mart in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and everyone was speaking Spanish. It was as if he were in Mexico. He joked that they would have to provide him with a translator in order to check out. So yes, Americans would also object to tens of millions of immigrants legally entering their country—because legal or illegal, mass immigration will mean the destruction of the integrity of American culture. And when that occurs, Hispanics living in America will still have their national homes, such as Mexico; it will be Americans who be homeless.
So Americans have less to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. They have an economy running on four flat tires (public and private debt, a dollar on life-supports, the price of oil approaching $100 a barrel, and a collapsed housing market); they are fighting and losing wars at home and abroad; like Othello, they have squandered their reputation abroad (being seen as both evil and ridiculous); their politicians have become America’s firing squad; and their nation is being eroded by immigrants, so that by the end of the century their grandchildren will be aliens in what was once their homeland (and Thanksgiving dinner will consist of enchiladas, tacos, tamales, and sopaipillas, eaten in celebration of the birth of the new Hispanic Nation). Bon Appétit!

America’s Last Chance To Remain American
Ruben Navarrette, a Hispanic propagandist and spokesperson for the San Diego Union-Tribune, says it isn’t too late for Republican politicians to woo Hispanic voters. Of course, he is speaking on the behalf of Hispanics in general and Mexican illegal immigrants in particular, not Americans. In his articles it is as if Americans do not exist, only U.S. politicians and Hispanics, in other words, as if America has already become a Hispanic Nation. From a slightly different perspective, Navarrette’s role is that of a representative of Mexico negotiating America’s surrender in the present Mexican-American War. Let’s call it MAWII. You will notice that he is smiling in his photograph, and he has every reason to smile because this time around it looks like Mexico is going to win the war. Thus, America is in one of those rare situations in which a nation is losing two wars at once, one abroad and one at home.
In his article “Still a Chance To Woo Hispanic Voters” Navarrette refers to the GOP “condemning itself to years in the electoral wilderness by alienating an influential constituency.” In other words, the Republican Party should get out of the electoral wilderness by selling out to that influential constituency the people who have been invading the country for the last half-century and who are more committed to Mexico and the political party of La Raza Unida than to America or to either of its major political parties.*
The reason Navarrette is appealing to Republican politicians is because America has already been sold out to the illegal aliens by the Democratic Party either for votes or their Marxist ideology (that Americans should surrender their nation to the world’s downtrodden multitudes). The only difference between the democratic candidates in the presidential election is how much they are willing to grovel for Hispanic votes. Ironically, it is a Republican who may have set the lowest standard of obsequiousness, and that would be Senator John McCain. Among the Democratic candidates Senator Hillary Clinton most deserves the Benedict Arnold Medal of Dishonor for, as Navarrette puts it, “aggressively going after the Hispanic vote by racking up the endorsements of seemingly every Latino officeholder from East Los Angeles to the South Bronx.” In other words, voting for Hillary is raising the white flag of surrender to Mexico and the armies of illegals encamped in hundreds of cites across America.** Of course, she has been greatly helped by her husband Bill, whose sense of loyalty was pretty much demonstrated by his affair with Monica.
As you probably already know, Benedict Arnold was an American Revolutionary general and traitor whose planned to surrender West Point to the British for 20,000 pounds. The Benedict Arnold Medal of Dishonor should be given to American politicians who contribute to the surrender of America to those armies of the night that have been marching northward from Mexico, Central America, and South America into America. Of course, this means that most if not all Democratic politicians, many Republican politicians, and certainly the President of the United State should receive this medal.
Actually, Navarrette isn’t interest in the Republicans winning the election but only in Hispanics winning the election. And this should not be held against him. He is, first and foremost, a Chicano (note the title of his book A Darker Shade of Crimson: Odyssey of a Harvard Chicano) and totally committed to his people, unlike many Anglo-American politicians, businessmen, and American Catholics who are in favor of giving sanctuary to illegal immigrants. However, the Republicans can win the election without surrendering to the illegals if they are willing to be, unlike their rabid leader President Bush, flexible on some key and difficult issues. Two candidates who could pull this off are Thomas G. Tancredo and Michael D. Huckabee. The strategy would be to appeal to Democratic and undecided American voters, rather than to Hispanics, because what many Americans are looking for is a president who is interested in saving America for Americans and not for Mexico or the Hispanic Coalition called the Hispanic Nation.
What these politicians would need to do is create a triage that distinguishes the most important election issues from secondary issues. Below, some of those issues are examined.
Illegal Immigration
First and foremost, they should stand up against the illegal aliens and require that they return home and apply to enter the United States legally. Mexico is the greatest threat to the integrity of America, not Iraq***, not Iran, and not the terrorists. If Americans lose the present Mexican-American War, they can expect that their country will soon become totally criminalized as Mexico has been for decades if not forever. A glimpse of America’s Hispanicized future can be seen in a recent San Diego Union-Tribune article titled “Troubling Signs in Baja.” It describes recent attacks upon Americans foolish enough to visit Mexico by “paramilitary-style criminals.” Pat Weber, owner of San Diego Surfing Academy in Carlsbad, watched while Mexican gunmen “sexually assaulted his girlfriend before stealing $10,000 worth of computers, video cameras, and other gear.” Welcome to the land of Su Casa Es Mi Case. And as always, Mexican law-enforcement officers cannot be trusted because there is a good chance that they are corrupt and linked to criminal groups. Hundreds of cities and communities in the U.S. have already been criminalized by illegal aliens and their offspring. If it were not for Hispanic immigrants, the jails and prisons in California would not be overflowing. If Americans do not have the gumption to elect a president (and congressmen/women and senators) who is willing to stand up to Mexico and its civilian armies, then they deserve whatever they get (like the tourists visiting gangsterlandia south of the border) and they had better start arming lifeguards with AK-47s.
If American voters are unwilling to support the fight against illegal aliens, then it doesn’t matter who wins the election because America will have become a lost cause for everyone but those invading the country.
The Iraq War
The next president needs to get American troops out of Iraq because the Iraq war is bleeding America of American lives and of oceans of money, and because the war is unwinnable. Anyone who thinks the Iraqis are going to be friends of America after the war’s end (win—whatever that means—or lose) is an idiot. Eventually, Iraq will have a leader like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez who will be more interested in serving his people than in being America’s friend. America could use such a leader, one not interested primarily in serving wealthy special interest groups but in serving the American people. Besides, almost all Iraqis have suffered harm as a result of the U.S. invasion of their homeland, and only a madman would think they will feel any loyalty toward us after the war.
The Homosexual Issue
Homosexuals are not a threat to America. I am not an advocate of their lifestyle and certainly don’t appreciate their influence upon Hollywood movies (such as Brokeback Mountain). However, the vast majority of American boys and girls do not want to be homosexuals. The biggest threat sexually to American values is the celebration of promiscuity in popular culture, not homosexuality. Mexican gangs and drug lords are a far greater threat to American communities than homosexuals are. Thus, I suggest that Republican presidential candidates take the position (a traditionally Republican position) that the states should decide how to handle the various issues regarding homosexuality, such as whether or not they should be able to marry. Personally, I could care less if they marry. If doing so is a sin, then let God punish them. Americans have other more pressing problems to worry about, such as water scarcity, deadly bacterial diseases killing young Americans inside and outside of high schools, spreading STDs, growing debt, a weakening dollar, a demoralized military, a weakening economy, skyrocketing gas prices, declining values of homes and increasing home foreclosures, etc.
Abortion
As with Homosexuality, let each state deal with the issue of abortion. It is an ugly issue and a dilemma at best. From a practical standpoint, I don’t want unprepared, uneducated, uninterested mothers raising children. Each child might be a blessing but only if it is brought up by caring, intelligent parents who have the wherewithal to care for the child properly, and not to use the child as a source of welfare income, which is exactly what many immigrants do through agencies such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children.
Protecting the Environment
An important issue, but again I would allow states, such as California, lead the way. However, the environmental change that is presently the greatest threat to America is demographic, the alienation of American society, which works out great for aliens, especially Mexicans, but is a disaster for Americans. In his book Gringo, Travis Barrett discusses the destruction of the America’s cultural ecology by the introduction of alien ecologies.
Universal Health-Care Coverage
Personally, I would be all for universal health-care coverage if it were not for the fact that I do not think the American government should be providing medical care (or any other social service) to people who entered the country illegally or to their children. If the democrats get into office, Americans can expect not only tens of millions of new Hispanic U.S. citizens, but also tens of billions of tax dollar to pay for their medical expensive. Of course, if the illegal aliens had to return home, the health care program might even be affordable.****
Kissing
Kissing was actually on the list of political issues that I consulted. I would say that if Americans vote for Hillary Clinton or any other candidate who does not have the cahones to stand up to the alien armies presently occupying America and to Mexico for its poorly kept secret war against the U.S., then Americans can expect their politicians to continue kissing the asses of illegal aliens and of those who sponsor them, which will mean very soon that Americans will be kissing America good-bye. And, by the way, expect the next alien invasion to come from Iraq—a little bad karma payback. Already in many American cities one can hear five times a day the Islamic calls to prayer, five times a day the sounds of a defeated America.
Perhaps the most important issue is the Direction for America. Democrats, many Republicans, businessmen, Catholics (and many other Christians) envision America’s becoming a multicultural society in which Americans will be just another alien minority by the end of this century. If America is to remain America and not a Hispanic Nation or simply a nation of strangers, then American voters must act now while they still are a majority. If they do not, their children can expect to live in an America not so different from what the surfers encountered on the beaches of Mexico. If that is what Americans decide to vote for, then they too will deserve the bad karma that will result. And if they think God will come to their rescue, then they need to take another look at the Iraq War, and perhaps another look a Genesis. By choosing unwisely, Adam and Eve also lost paradise.
*Another Hispanic propagandist and spokesperson is Linda Chavez, whose articles appear often in the San Diego Union-Tribune. In a recent article titled “Immigration Issue Can’t Save GOP” she basically argues that the Republicans ought to give up on the Mexican American War and wave the white flag of surrender before the millions of illegal immigrants currently invading and occupying cities across America, because, in her words, a “tough stand on immigration is a big loser with Hispanic voters, who are becoming a larger share of the electorate.” In other words, if you want votes, sell out America. She can count on most if not all Democratic politicians to do just that, and I expect the Republicans will come around to way of thinking because the two things they value most are money and votes. What this means for illegal immigrants is something they have known all along: crime does pay. Whose side is Chavez on? The immigrants’ side, of course. She is a buddy of Mexico’s most powerful ally in America, George W. Bush, who in 2001 nominated her for Secretary of Labor, but the nomination was withdrawn after it was revealed that she had allegedly given money to an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who lived in her home. (Is this an example of providing residential sanctuary to illegals?) She also was U.S. Expert to the U.N. Sub-commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. You have to give Chavez her due: unlike many American politicians, she has remained faithful to her people.
**You might have heard about the new two-punch theory of how the dinosaurs were driven into extinction. First there was a series of volcanic eruptions that caused a greenhouse effect, which put stress on the environment, and then an asteroid tipped the environment into negative territory for the big creatures. Well, it seems that America is facing a similar situation. First, George Bush and his predecessors allowed the threat of illegal immigration to grow catastrophically, and now I am afraid that if Hillary or any of the other democratic candidates get into office the result will be similar to the asteroids upon the existence of the dinosaurs: America’s extinction.
*** It was only after America invaded Iraq did Iraq become a threat to America, killing thousands of American soldiers and draining the American treasury of hundreds of billions of dollars.
****There might even be fewer fires like the ones that recently ravaged Southern California. Today’s San Diego Union-Tribune contains a story about Steven Santos Robles Jr., who volunteered to helped battle one of last month's wildfires in San Diego County but who is also on parole for setting seven San Diego County wildfires that charred thousands of acres and destroyed about a dozen homes.
In his article “Still a Chance To Woo Hispanic Voters” Navarrette refers to the GOP “condemning itself to years in the electoral wilderness by alienating an influential constituency.” In other words, the Republican Party should get out of the electoral wilderness by selling out to that influential constituency the people who have been invading the country for the last half-century and who are more committed to Mexico and the political party of La Raza Unida than to America or to either of its major political parties.*
The reason Navarrette is appealing to Republican politicians is because America has already been sold out to the illegal aliens by the Democratic Party either for votes or their Marxist ideology (that Americans should surrender their nation to the world’s downtrodden multitudes).

Thus, I suggest that Republican presidential candidates take the position (a traditionally Republican position) that the states should decide how to handle the various issues regarding homosexuality, such as whether or not they should be able to marry. Personally, I could care less if they marry. If doing so is a sin, then let God punish them. Americans have other more pressing problems to worry about, such as water scarcity, deadly bacterial diseases killing young Americans inside and outside of high schools, spreading STDs, growing debt, a weakening dollar, a demoralized military, a weakening economy, skyrocketing gas prices, declining values of homes and increasing home foreclosures, etc.
Abortion
As with Homosexuality, let each state deal with the issue of abortion. It is an ugly issue and a dilemma at best. From a practical standpoint, I don’t want unprepared, uneducated, uninterested mothers raising children. Each child might be a blessing but only if it is brought up by caring, intelligent parents who have the wherewithal to care for the child properly, and not to use the child as a source of welfare income, which is exactly what many immigrants do through agencies such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children.
Protecting the Environment
An important issue, but again I would allow states, such as California, lead the way. However, the environmental change that is presently the greatest threat to America is demographic, the alienation of American society, which works out great for aliens, especially Mexicans, but is a disaster for Americans. In his book Gringo, Travis Barrett discusses the destruction of the America’s cultural ecology by the introduction of alien ecologies.
Universal Health-Care Coverage
Personally, I would be all for universal health-care coverage if it were not for the fact that I do not think the American government should be providing medical care (or any other social service) to people who entered the country illegally or to their children. If the democrats get into office, Americans can expect not only tens of millions of new Hispanic U.S. citizens, but also tens of billions of tax dollar to pay for their medical expensive. Of course, if the illegal aliens had to return home, the health care program might even be affordable.****
Kissing
Kissing was actually on the list of political issues that I consulted. I would say that if Americans vote for Hillary Clinton or any other candidate who does not have the cahones to stand up to the alien armies presently occupying America and to Mexico for its poorly kept secret war against the U.S., then Americans can expect their politicians to continue kissing the asses of illegal aliens and of those who sponsor them, which will mean very soon that Americans will be kissing America good-bye. And, by the way, expect the next alien invasion to come from Iraq—a little bad karma payback. Already in many American cities one can hear five times a day the Islamic calls to prayer, five times a day the sounds of a defeated America.
Perhaps the most important issue is the Direction for America. Democrats, many Republicans, businessmen, Catholics (and many other Christians) envision America’s becoming a multicultural society in which Americans will be just another alien minority by the end of this century. If America is to remain America and not a Hispanic Nation or simply a nation of strangers, then American voters must act now while they still are a majority. If they do not, their children can expect to live in an America not so different from what the surfers encountered on the beaches of Mexico. If that is what Americans decide to vote for, then they too will deserve the bad karma that will result. And if they think God will come to their rescue, then they need to take another look at the Iraq War, and perhaps another look a Genesis. By choosing unwisely, Adam and Eve also lost paradise.
*Another Hispanic propagandist and spokesperson is Linda Chavez, whose articles appear often in the San Diego Union-Tribune. In a recent article titled “Immigration Issue Can’t Save GOP” she basically argues that the Republicans ought to give up on the Mexican American War and wave the white flag of surrender before the millions of illegal immigrants currently invading and occupying cities across America, because, in her words, a “tough stand on immigration is a big loser with Hispanic voters, who are becoming a larger share of the electorate.” In other words, if you want votes, sell out America. She can count on most if not all Democratic politicians to do just that, and I expect the Republicans will come around to way of thinking because the two things they value most are money and votes. What this means for illegal immigrants is something they have known all along: crime does pay. Whose side is Chavez on? The immigrants’ side, of course. She is a buddy of Mexico’s most powerful ally in America, George W. Bush, who in 2001 nominated her for Secretary of Labor, but the nomination was withdrawn after it was revealed that she had allegedly given money to an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who lived in her home. (Is this an example of providing residential sanctuary to illegals?) She also was U.S. Expert to the U.N. Sub-commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. You have to give Chavez her due: unlike many American politicians, she has remained faithful to her people.
**You might have heard about the new two-punch theory of how the dinosaurs were driven into extinction. First there was a series of volcanic eruptions that caused a greenhouse effect, which put stress on the environment, and then an asteroid tipped the environment into negative territory for the big creatures. Well, it seems that America is facing a similar situation. First, George Bush and his predecessors allowed the threat of illegal immigration to grow catastrophically, and now I am afraid that if Hillary or any of the other democratic candidates get into office the result will be similar to the asteroids upon the existence of the dinosaurs: America’s extinction.
*** It was only after America invaded Iraq did Iraq become a threat to America, killing thousands of American soldiers and draining the American treasury of hundreds of billions of dollars.
****There might even be fewer fires like the ones that recently ravaged Southern California. Today’s San Diego Union-Tribune contains a story about Steven Santos Robles Jr., who volunteered to helped battle one of last month's wildfires in San Diego County but who is also on parole for setting seven San Diego County wildfires that charred thousands of acres and destroyed about a dozen homes.

Illegals Destroying America with the Help of the Catholic Church
This is got to be the most depressing time for Americans for a number of reasons, two of which are the illegal Iraq War and illegal immigration (itself an undeclared war). The Iraq War is an exercise in futility, destroying thousands of American lives and eventually costing American taxpayers over a trillion dollars. The only Americans benefiting are the avaricious wealthy, the likes of Cheney and Bush, who see war as a business investment. The war is already lost because even if America won the war (whatever that might mean), Iraq will be no more a friend of the U.S. than it was under Saddam Hussein.
The other source of America’s melancholy is the Second Mexican-American War, which now looks unwinnable. Whereas the so-called Coalition of nations supporting U.S. in Iraq is a joke (Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, South Korea, and the United Kingdom), the Hispanic Coalition supporting the Mexican invasion of the U.S. is no laughing matter (Cuba and South and Central America, about a half-billion people).
The invaders do suffer a few hundred casualties each year, but hundreds of thousands successfully cross the border, set up bases of operation, establish enclaves, and appropriate communities, cities, and ultimately states, the chief goal being to establish a Hispanic Nation on American soil. So when I read about illegal immigrant invaders suffering injury or death while invading America, I feel no pity for them. Most recently in the news were illegals burned in the California fires and presently costing American taxpayers thousands of dollars each day. I have no more pity for them than I would have for someone who injured himself or herself trying to break into my home.
The Sunday San Diego Union-Tribune did a story on a Mexican woman burned in the fire and hospitalized at the UCSD burn center. Recently she died of her injuries. The woman and her husband had entered the U.S. illegally ten years ago and had four children, who are now U.S. citizens. (Will America ever learn that the children of illegals should not be American citizens?) The woman and her husband had been making a living in the U.S. by selling tamales, which means that American taxpayers have been footing the bill for the social services, such as schooling and medical care, received by the family. Of course, the news article was written as a sob story so that readers feel sorry for, rather than threatened by, these people. Apparently, the woman was crossing the border with her brother who was attempting to enter the country illegally. He too was hospitalized in the burn center.*
The extent of the threat of illegal immigration to America is found in the numbers of illegal immigrant invading the U.S. and the number of their offspring. The family just mentioned had been in the U.S. for ten years and already had four children, the youngest being 18 months. The mother was only twenty-nine years of age. There is every reason to believe that the couple planned on having more children.
Another illustration of the prolificacy of the Hispanic immigrants is to be found in an article on two new cardinals serving the border region. Francisco Robles and Archbishop Daniel DiNardo of the Galveston-Houston diocese. Comparing the families of the two men reveals the future of America and why America is being flooded Katrina-like by Mexicans. Daniel DiNardo, an American, has a twin sister and two other siblings. The San Diego Union-Tribune article said that Francisco Robles, a Mexican, was the third of 16 children. In the article DiNardo is quoted as saying “immigration from Mexico and Central America, Asia and Africa have doubled the membership of his diocese” and that the “Holy See is saying that the whole south and southwestern part of the United States...,obviously a major portion of which are the Hispanics, is a noteworthy and beautiful addition to the Catholic Church in the United State.” Who is this guy kidding? It is perfectly clear that he is no friend of America, but an ally of the illegal alien invaders.
Millions of illegal immigrants are being championed and protected by the Catholic Church. The blogger El Gabo Gringo wrote a blog titled Illegal Immigrants Still Hiding Behind Christ, in which he describes an illegal alien by the name of Elvira Arellano who was taking sanctuary in a Chicago church. El Gabo Gringo is sympathetic with Elvira’s plight because she has a child born illegally in the United States, but is a U.S. citizen, nonetheless. Nevertheless, he is also critical of Elvira’s criminal behavior, explaining that Elvira works the media for sympathy, and the church enhances her ploy by allowing her to hide behind the loving image of Christ and the welcoming words of God. This is a popular strategy among illegals, and the passage from the Bible they quote most often is from Leviticus:
“But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” (19:34)
If Americans are going to apply this principle to the illegal Hispanic invasion of America, then logically they should welcome with love and open arms burglars who invade their homes during the night.** It is one thing to be nice to strangers (which does not include those who threaten the integrity of one’s culture and homeland) and another to welcome an invading army. Should Tibetans have welcomed the Chinese or Kuwaitis the armies of Hussein? And only fool would allow the fact that the Hispanic invaders are civilians to blind him or her to the political aims of the invaders (which is to transform America into a Hispanic Nation and to annex American territory they call Atzlan, which is defined as follows: “The American Southwest, specifically the territory of northern Mexico ceded to the United States by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. The term is used especially by Chicano-rights activists” (Yahoo Education).
The role of the Catholic Church, and many protestant churches, is similar to that of the Greek’s Trojan Horse used by the Greeks to invade the city of Troy. The horse appeared to be a gift, but once allowed into the city, its occupants, Greek warriors, opened the gates that protected the city and allowed the Greek army to destroy the city. This is exactly what is happening to America today. At least the Trojans put up a fight. Unfortunately, American soldiers are bogged down in an unnecessary and futile conflict in Iraq, designed more to enrich war profiteers and protect Israel than to protect Americans.
Why, you might ask, would the Catholic Church be so interested in protecting illegal aliens? Because the aliens are Catholics and the Church needs to fill the pews vacated when it was discovered that the Catholic Church in America has been operating as a factory of sin run by black-robed pedophiles producing traumatized children. Let’s face it, even Satan would be above fondling children. So now the Catholic Church is making a deal with illegal aliens, sanctuary for membership, and betraying America as Judas betrayed Christ.
American Christians who serve the cause of illegal aliens are in fact aiding and abiding an enemy that is a greater threat to the U.S. than any other in American history. An example of this type of do-gooder (imagine your neighbor helping a burglar break into your home by providing him with a stepladder) is Rosemary Johnston, Board Member, Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights and a contributor to the National Catholic Reporter. In a letter to the editor (San Diego Union-Tribune), she says that “it is a sad commentary on our community when medical personnel have to defend and explain their decision to treat any human being with life-threatening injuries.” What Ms Johnston overlooks is the big picture, which is that illegal aliens are costing American taxpayers billions of dollars, overburdening social services, and criminalizing communities.
Hispanic street gangs are only one example. “Street gangs have existed in the United States since the 1800s. But in the last few years, street gangs have grown more violent, more numerous and more widespread, from the big cities to rural areas. Many gang members are illegal immigrants, mostly from Latin America.” (Voice of America/VOA.com) And recently we read about the sentencing of Mexican drug lord Arellano Félix, who admitted moving hundreds of tons of cocaine and marijuana into the U.S., which he could not have done without the presence of Hispanic street gangs. In addition, his trial would “be one of the longest and costliest in San Diego history” (San Diego Union-Tribune)
In a Union-Tribune article by Sandi Dolbee, titled Immigration Issue, March Draw Faith-Based Backing, Ms. Johnston is quoted saying, “We believe our nation stands at a critical tipping point now.” She certainly right about that, just as the Titanic was at a tipping point just before it struck an iceberg. The iceberg threatening America is illegal immigration, and those who are collaborating to ensure the sinking of America into an alien sea are the American Catholic Church; American businessmen; and corrupt, self-serving American politicians. And with the help of the fifth-columnists working on the behalf of illegal immigrants, America’s future looks as bright as that of Troy.
And in spite of what those glassy-eyed Christian (or nonbelieving Marxist) liberals would have you believe, there is never going to be a great reconciliation in America between the members of the Hispanic Nation and Americans. The country is in the process of suffering a great divide, such as existed after the Civil War, but the one that exists today will never heal because it is not between Americans (Yankees and Southerners) but between the invaders and the invaded. America’s future shall be that of continuing resentment and mutual mistrust and increasing conflict, not unlike that existing between the invading Jews and invaded Palestinians of Israel.
So, perhaps America should give up Christianity altogether and become a Moslem nation, because at least Moslems are willing to fight to protect the integrity of their homeland.
*I do not wish to make light of the horrific events suffered by these two people. I wish they had not been injured, but I also will not pretend to have much pity for them because I believe that illegal immigration really is the greatest threat America has ever faced. Mexico, with its Coalition of Southern Nations, is very likely to accomplish what neither the Germans nor the Japanese could have accomplished during WWII.

Another Rat Abandons the Sinking USS Disaster
It looks like another fat rat has decided to abandon the sinking ship of state, the USS Disaster, captained by George Bush. This one is Karen Hughes, who was in charge of improving the U.S. image abroad, which she and the rest of Bush’s crew destroyed. She said improving the world’s image of the U.S. will be a “long-term challenge” that will outlast her. Her statement indicates the extent of the damage that the Bush administration has done to America’s reputation. In fact, repair cannot begin until Bush and all the rodents who follow him like a piece of smelly cheese are gone.
White House press secretary Dana Perino praised Hughes’s performance, showing just what an idiot the press secretary is. For one thing, Karen Hughes was a member of the White House Iraq Group, whose job it was to dupe the American people into believing invading Iraq was a good idea. It must be satisfying knowing that you follow in the footsteps of such great propagandists as Joseph Goebbels, whose job it was to convince the German people that going to war was a good idea. In addition, just as Goebbels vilified the Jews, Hughes organized a media campaign that vilified the Democratic governor of Texas, Ann Richards (a good Texan, thus a member of an endangered species). I wonder if the smell of sulfur follows Karen Hughes as it does her boss and her fellow henchman Karl Rove?
Ms Hughes may think she can slink back to Texas with a clear conscience, but like the monster she helped foist upon the American people, her hands are soaked with the blood of Iraqi civilians and American soldiers and will leave a trail wherever she goes. I suppose as long as she remains in the great, nefarious state of Texas she can feel good about going out in public, but anywhere else in the U.S. and the rest of the world she will be seen as a monster, Grendel Bush’s monster mother.
If you disagree, just take a few minutes to consider the present state of the nation, and while you are at it, consider what exactly Bush and his band of bandits have done for the American people. Consider Bush’s war in Iraq and how much it has cost in lives and tax dollars. I won’t ask you to consider its effect upon the nation’s reputation because it seems like Ms Hughes most Americans could care less about what the rest of the world thinks about them. But consider the problem of illegal immigration and how George Bush has been more of an ally of the illegal aliens than of the American people. Finally, consider what has happened to the price of oil since Bush has been president. The answer is that it has made obscene profits for the oil industry, thus for Bush’s family and friends, and made poorer nonwealthy Americans.
Goodbye Karen, and good riddance.

Halloween Has Become a Lot Scarier for Americans
Ruben Navarrette Jr. said in a recent San Diego Union-Tribune column that San Diego is America’s most flammable region. That is certainly true in more ways than one. He also said that the city is “one of the most desirable and livable cities in the country.” But though that may be true for the growing Latino population, it is less true for the Americans living in San Diego, because though the fires are out San Diegans are still very much threatened by the fires of illegal immigration.
An American Halloween nightmare is having hundreds of Latino children knocking at the door and saying TREAT AND TRICK, and never seeing a single American child because their parents have either moved out of the city for greener, albeit dwindling, American pastures or have kept their children inside their grated homes for protection in what has become a alien and hostile neighborhood. The fact is, traditional American communities become barrios once illegal Hispanic immigrants move in, and barrios become infested with criminal activity, especially that caused by Hispanic street gangs. Just ask the black Americans who live in the community where 14-year-old Cheryl Green was murdered by a Hispanic gang member. (Travis Barrett’s novel GRINGO is dedicated to Cheryl.)
Even Navarrette, a true friend of and propagandist for illegal immigrants (he doesn’t believe local police should enforce immigration laws), acknowledges in his column that illegal Mexican immigrants are “suspected” of being out during the fires tricking the good citizens at Qualcomm Stadium by treating themselves to truckloads of relief supplies. Navarrette calls it a “despicable act,” but the illegal act that brought them into the country in the first place is an understandable illegal act of desperation that should receive the forgiveness of amnesty.
What this way of thinking overlooks is the connection between the crimes committed by illegal immigrants and their children and the crime of illegally entering the United States in the first place. Were the illegal aliens not in the U.S., they could not commit crimes in the U.S. And let’s face it, breaking the law is nothing new among illegal Hispanics immigrants, who break the law when they invade America (by land and sea), use forged papers to get jobs, drive without a license or with an illegal license, and so on and on.
For illegal immigrants, crime does pay, but Americans foot the bill in the form of taxes, medical costs (such as the $45,000 to $500,000 for each of the 11 illegal aliens in UCSD burn units?), criminalized communities, deteriorating social services (schools, hospitals, etc.), lower wages, and deadly diseases (for example, the two following news items: “HIV likely entered the United States through a single infected immigrant from Haiti, scientists said Monday” and “Several infectious diseases that are rare in the native US population occur often in the Latin American population”).
Why is it that illegal immigration has not been attacked with the same vigor as the fires were? The damage that illegal aliens are doing and will continue to do to America is far more severe. Americans who lost their homes to the fire can rebuild, but once American communities have been taken over by illegal aliens, they are lost forever. Mexicans living in America will soon celebrate the Day of the Dead. I expect that the Day of the Dead could become a national Latino holiday celebrating the demise of the old America and the rise of the new Hispanic Nation.
In his book STRANGERS, Travis Barrett describes an American family who suffers a house-jacking by illegal aliens. As they flee what was once their community, but now belonging to the invaders, the father is shocked to discover a Day-of-the-Dead photo in which his family have become skeletons. The story may seem far-fetched, but if cities did not have million-dollar graffiti removal programs, it would become frighteningly clear just how many American communities have become gang infested barrios. In fact, I suggest that the graffiti be left as a warning sign indicating the alien transformation that is rapidly occurring in the United States, a transformation that is not so unlike what is seen in zombie movies. Suddenly, one’s neighbors have become aggressive strangers.
I expect that by the end of this century, Americans will have become ghosts, like today’s Native Americans, haunting a nation that was once theirs. Then Halloween will be really scary and the Day of the Dead will be a celebration of America’s demise. Happy Halloween!

Even Navarrette, a true friend of and propagandist for illegal immigrants (he doesn’t believe local police should enforce immigration laws), acknowledges in his column that illegal Mexican immigrants are “suspected” of being out during the fires tricking the good citizens at Qualcomm Stadium by treating themselves to truckloads of relief supplies. Navarrette calls it a “despicable act,” but the illegal act that brought them into the country in the first place is an understandable illegal act of desperation that should receive the forgiveness of amnesty.
What this way of thinking overlooks is the connection between the crimes committed by illegal immigrants and their children and the crime of illegally entering the United States in the first place. Were the illegal aliens not in the U.S., they could not commit crimes in the U.S. And let’s face it, breaking the law is nothing new among illegal Hispanics immigrants, who break the law when they invade America (by land and sea), use forged papers to get jobs, drive without a license or with an illegal license, and so on and on.
For illegal immigrants, crime does pay, but Americans foot the bill in the form of taxes, medical costs (such as the $45,000 to $500,000 for each of the 11 illegal aliens in UCSD burn units?), criminalized communities, deteriorating social services (schools, hospitals, etc.), lower wages, and deadly diseases (for example, the two following news items: “HIV likely entered the United States through a single infected immigrant from Haiti, scientists said Monday” and “Several infectious diseases that are rare in the native US population occur often in the Latin American population”).
Why is it that illegal immigration has not been attacked with the same vigor as the fires were? The damage that illegal aliens are doing and will continue to do to America is far more severe. Americans who lost their homes to the fire can rebuild, but once American communities have been taken over by illegal aliens, they are lost forever. Mexicans living in America will soon celebrate the Day of the Dead. I expect that the Day of the Dead could become a national Latino holiday celebrating the demise of the old America and the rise of the new Hispanic Nation.
In his book STRANGERS, Travis Barrett describes an American family who suffers a house-jacking by illegal aliens. As they flee what was once their community, but now belonging to the invaders, the father is shocked to discover a Day-of-the-Dead photo in which his family have become skeletons. The story may seem far-fetched, but if cities did not have million-dollar graffiti removal programs, it would become frighteningly clear just how many American communities have become gang infested barrios. In fact, I suggest that the graffiti be left as a warning sign indicating the alien transformation that is rapidly occurring in the United States, a transformation that is not so unlike what is seen in zombie movies. Suddenly, one’s neighbors have become aggressive strangers.
I expect that by the end of this century, Americans will have become ghosts, like today’s Native Americans, haunting a nation that was once theirs. Then Halloween will be really scary and the Day of the Dead will be a celebration of America’s demise. Happy Halloween!

California Burns While Bush and Cheney Play the War Fiddle and the Democrats Play Dumb
California burns while Bush and Cheney play their war fiddle. Southern Californians sure could have used some federal help early on (a ¼ of a million residents were evacuated before President Bush even noticed the fires), but we all know the Feds have wars to fight and profits to make, but you would at least think that the American people would have grown sick of their government’s creating unnecessary disasters overseas when Americans have plenty at home to deal with, such as the housing market going bust and millions of Americans losing their homes as a result, the overall economy suffering from an economic influenza, the American dollar looking more and more like Confederate currency, gas prices going through the roof, the Midwest being pulverized by tornados, the South’s dying from thirst, Staphylococcal infections turning high school gyms into Petri dishes, and high crime rates holding steady (yes, the fires have brought out looters, which just goes to show you that the enemies Americans should worry most about are either homegrown or imported). Of course, federal indifference isn’t new to Americans living in California, who have witnessed their state being taken over by illegal aliens as if it were the Alamo. Why the federal inaction? Because war is so much more lucrative than fighting fires, crime, aliens, or bacterial epidemics.
So it’s to be expected that Vice (an appropriate title in this case) President Dick Halliburton Cheney would have his mind more on bombing Iran than on protecting Americans from real (as oppose to hypothetical) threats occurring on American soil. And we all know why President Fist-of-God Bush would love to bomb Iran—in the hopes of kick-starting W.W.III, as if all those mushrooming clouds would send a signal to God that it is time to send the Rapture Bus to pick up the faithful. The one value these two oily politicians share is getting the price of oil above $100 per barrel and getting war and oil profits into their pockets and into the pockets of their friends, and in that regard they have done a terrific job.
If left alone Iran is an unlikely threat to the U.S., with or without the bomb. However, Iran is very much like an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) that goes off if you trigger it. Iraq was such a device, which would have not harmed Americans in any way if our moronic president had not deliberately triggered it, and now it has been going off for almost five years, bleeding America of blood, money, and morale. If Iran had a nuclear bomb and a nuclear bomb exploded on U.S. territory, the U.S. would do to Iran what General Westmorland wanted to do to Vietnam—turn it into a parking lot. (And what was the reason we went to war against Vietnam, killing 50,000 American soldiers and over two million Vietnamese? What harm had Vietnam caused us?) Don’t you think it’s time for the American people to vote on big decisions such as going to war or whether or not illegal aliens should be allowed to stay in the country? Representational government doesn’t seem to work, and it’s Americans who pay the price in blood and dollars, not the politicians, who often treat American citizens as if they were aliens to be ignored.)
So who else is the Chaney-Bush let’s-bomb-Iran policy serving other than Greed and Profit? Israel, the occupier of Palestine, is the only nation in the region that is not pumping oil that the Administration cares about, and without question, Israel has been the most destructive IED that America has tripped over since 1949. Since the Jews swept through Palestine like the fires are currently sweeping through Southern California, America’s reputation in the Middle East has been in a nosedive and has now crashed and burned in Iraq. And how has Israel benefitted Americans? It hasn’t, except for Jewish Americans. And now the U.S. just might trip over the Iranian trip wire and kick off Bush’s eagerly anticipated W.W.III.
And for what? To save American lives? Don’t be silly. To save Israeli lives is more likely. Bush did say that to avoid World War III Iran must be prevented from going nuclear in order to prevent Iran from destroying Israel. Ergo, if Iran goes nuclear we can expect W.W.III. But the cause will not be Iran’s nuking Israel but Israel’s bombing the hell out of Iran and Iran responding in a variety of ways, then perhaps drawing third party nations such Russian and the U.S. into the fray. (And who knows, if the U.S. bombs Iran, perhaps the Islamic radicals in Pakistan will take over, giving them access to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.) However, let us be clear about one thing. Iran would never bomb Israel except in retaliation for its being bombed by Israel or by the U.S. because it knows that if it did so, Israel and the U.S. would gleefully destroy the Persian Oil Empire, hoping that what would be left would be unoccupied oil fields.
It really is amazing how Americans expect the Middle East to dance to an Israeli-American tune, but of course before Israel and America started playing the Middle East as if it were their fiddle, the European nations were treating the Middle-East as if it were private investment properties to be rearranged and exploited as they saw fit. You may recall reading about what the Europeans did to the indigenous peoples of North America. Okay, that’s history, but history continues to repeat itself—such as in Palestine, Iraq, and Iran (remember America’s puppet the Shah of Iran?)—because politicians, rather than populations, continue to call the shots (literally).
I suggest that Americans let Israel take care of itself and continue its repression of the Palestinians on its own bloody dime. Americans, such as those whose homes have been blown away by tornados or burned to the ground by fire, have enough to worry about. In addition, Americans, like myself, who are not waiting for the Rapture and who do not wish to finance its realization, have more to gain from Iran as a friend than we do from Israel, whose friendship is at best self-serving. Okay, Iran’s friendship would be as well, since self-serving friendship is what real-politics is all about, but all Americans can use Iranian oil and only a few million benefit from Israel as a Christian theme park. The present administration’s Middle-East policies have been what should be called stupid-politics, at least as far as their benefit for most Americans is concerned.
However, don’t think for a moment that the Republicans have a monopoly on stupid-politics. Take, for example the sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, Adam Schiff, whose California district is home to the US's largest ethnic-Armenian community, just another example of how the alien diasporas, be they Armenian, Jewish, or Mexican, continue to bite the hand that feeds them. Schiff’s self-serving resolution greatly angered Turkey, in part because since the genocide took place almost a century ago probably very few Turkish citizens had anything to do with it. Besides, I do not think it’s any of our business. If the Armenians living in the U.S. want to condemn Turkey, then I say, Go for it. That’s what the Internet is for.
As a result of the Democrats’ foolishness (what do you expect, they’re politicians), Turkey has sent troops into northern Iraq, getting some of them killed and captured as a result. What are we going to do about it? Who knows? But one thing we do know is that much of the U.S. supplies and manpower sent into Iraq to fight the Cheney-Bush War for Oil and Israel goes through Turkey. Why don’t Americans see that though the U.S. government keeps telling the American people that it does what it does for their benefit when it’s clear enough that it does what it does for profit and for the benefit of nonAmericans, such as Israelis, Armenians, and, of course, illegal immigrants.
The stupid-politics of America’s politicians, Democrat and Republican, is not limited to the Middle-East. Consider the U.S. government’s antagonistic attitude toward Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela. What is the basis for this attitude? Chavez is socialist who places the welfare of his own people above the ideologies and profits of American politicians and businessmen. As he says, his government is for the millions, not the millionaires. In other words, he doesn’t believe Venezuela should dance to the American fiddle. In addition, he is disliked as an autocrat, though a democratically elected one, just like the autocrats Bush and Cheney. What American citizens driving their bloated SUVs should consider is the fact that Venezuela provides up to 15% of U.S. oil imports.
Another example of Bush-Cheney stupid-politics is its alienation of Russia over the placement of an anti-missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, ostensibly to protect America from Iranian missiles. Yeah right! Since when does Iran have the capability to send missiles armed with nuclear bombs to the U.S.? It’s clear to President Putin that the system is designed to protect against Russia missiles. More likely, its simply the American Military-Industrial-Complex flexing its muscles, whether or not the citizens of Europe and America believe it’s a good idea, considering, for example, that Russia has the world’s largest natural gas reserves, much of which Europe depends upon, and the largest nuclear weapons arsenal after the U.S. Having Russia as a friend rather than a foe would do more to avoid a nuclear holocaust than a few anti-missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic.
Most recently, President Bush presented the Dalai Lama with the Congressional Gold Medal, and by doing so making China mad as hell. In making the award the president emphasized Tibet’s struggle for religious freedom, though ignoring the chief value represented by the Buddhist Dalai Lama, which is PEACE. (And let’s face it, Bush is not in favor of all forms of freedom, such as the freedom from torture; the freedom from being secretly kidnapped and imprisoned; the freedom to a speedy and public trial; the freedom not to be secretly spied upon (in the manner of the KGB); the freedom not to be black listed or blackballed (as in the case of Valerie Plane and Dan Rather); the freedom to be informed about what the government is really doing (such as its manipulation of scientific reports), which can be done only by congress; and the freedom to be informed about the foods, goods, and services that Americans pay for and use (why is the NASA report on airline safety being withheld?). And of course, the U.S. will keep doing business with Tibet’s oppressor, China, and continue to keep selling the Chinese government our debt in the form of treasury securities to finance the illegal war in Iraq because the U.S. government and U.S. business believe that government and business should be kept separate from ethics. It is, in other words, easier and more profitable to give a medal than it is to do the right thing.
The truth of the matter is that the Armenian Genocide Resolution and the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal are political charades to give the impression that the U.S. government is actually doing something useful for the American people. But instead of wasting its time passing out medals and creating enemies and problems abroad, the U.S. government ought to be addressing problems here at home that American citizens struggle with each day, like the increasingly rapid spread of the MRSA bacteria, which killed 19,000 Americans in 2005. Americans have more to fear from this disease, fires, storms, floods, crime, illegal immigrants, and foreclosures than they do from terrorists. And if the American government was not so good at creating enemies, there would be fewer terrorists interested in harming Americans. If left alone, terrorists are usually satisfied with terrorizing their own people.
Wake up, America! It’s almost too late.
So it’s to be expected that Vice (an appropriate title in this case) President Dick Halliburton Cheney would have his mind more on bombing Iran than on protecting Americans from real (as oppose to hypothetical) threats occurring on American soil. And we all know why President Fist-of-God Bush would love to bomb Iran—in the hopes of kick-starting W.W.III, as if all those mushrooming clouds would send a signal to God that it is time to send the Rapture Bus to pick up the faithful.

Cuban Immigrants Find a New Way to Invade the U.S.
The Great American Giveaway and Travis Barrett’s Novels GRINGO and STRANGERS
Recently I read an article about how Cuban immigrants are taking a new route to the U.S. Because of the “wet foot, dry foot” policy, which gives them the ability to become permanent residents if they reach U.S. soil. So instead of trying to make it by boat, they enter Mexico, head to the U.S. border, and then ask for political asylum, which they will automatically get. Of course, the immigrants are financed by Cubans living in Miami.
It seems the Great American Giveaway is the giving away of America to aliens by the rich and powerful on both the left and right. Jimmy Carter is a good example of the Democrats’ giving away what does not belong to them but to the American people. Remember when President Jimmy Carter welcomed thousands of Cuban immigrants, many of them criminals and insane, during the Great Cuban Exodus of 1980? And the “wet foot, dry foot" policy was adopted by the Clinton Administration, and when Hillary gets in it will be the “any alien foot welcome policy.” Of course, the Republicans are no better, such as President Bush’s desire to give amnesty to all the millions of illegals in the country, because U.S. businesses are willing to give away America little by little when it is profitable to do so.
It seems that Americans have been abandoned, and by the end of this century the old America will be no more, as it is no more already in many parts of the country, such as Miami and L.A. As other peoples throughout the world struggle to preserve or long to have a territorial home, such as the Iraqi Curds and the Palestinians, Americans are allowing the giving away of their cultural home. Of course, the aliens see it differently, just as the poor thief tells himself he has a right to steal the rich man’s property. (However, Barrett explains that what the aliens are doing to Americans, Americans did to the Indians. He also explains that it is because such behavior is rooted in our evolutionary makeup, that no solution seems possible, since laws (moral or otherwise) and civilization do not seem to work. The only thing that seems to work is big guns at the border, bigger guns than what the invaders have, which the Iraqis lacked when the Americans arrived.)
In the end America will lose the war in Iraq, but that loss will seem insignificant to America’s losing the war against the millions of aliens who have been, are presently, and will continue invading her (legally as in the case of the Cubans or illegally as in the case of the Mexican). American will lose because Americans never really put up a fight. For most Americans today it will not matter too much, but I believe it will matter greatly to their children and grandchildren. Today, it means, for example, that programs like the SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program) will require American taxpayers to spend billions of dollars for the health of millions of children of legal and illegal immigrants. By the end of the century it will mean that Americans will have become the aliens and will be living in a new America in which their voice will be one minority voice among a chorus of alien voices.
Travis Barrett’s two novels, STRANGERS and GRINGO, give a frightening and pessimistic look at the problem of illegal immigration (for Americans, not for the invaders). He seems to believe the battle has already been lost because Americans pretty much surrendered from the very beginning because, apparently, they didn’t think the country was worth fighting for. If you want a reassuring examination of the problem of illegal immigrations, don’t read Barrett’s novels. In fact, that seems to be the way most Americans deal with problems today: by looking the other way and hoping everything will work out in their favor, like the war in Iraq.

Why George W. Bush will never receive a Nobel Peace Prize but should receive a Nobel War Prize
The creator of the Nobel Prize, Alfred Bernhard Nobel, the scientist who invented dynamite and whose work contributed to the development of high explosives, became increasingly concerned with the military use of his inventions. The general purpose of the peace prize is to recognize and encourage activity that contributes to the reduction of various forms of violence around the world, including war, terrorism, insurgency, and violent forms of crime.
George Bush, on the other hand, delights in weapons of mass destruction even as denounces them. Certainly, the U.S. military is such a weapon, as has been demonstrated in its destruction of the nation of Iraq. It is significant that the day before Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize the U.S. military had killed nine children and six women northeast of Baghdad. Of course, the military does not intend to kill women and children, but that is the problem with weapons of mass destruction: they cause a lot of collateral death and damage. Interestingly, “collateral” means “additional but subordinate or secondary”; thus the death of women and children is acceptable as long as the primary goal of killing insurgent leaders is achieved.
I do not blame the military so much as I blame the Commander in Chief. He sent this greatest of weapons of mass destruction, the United States Military, not into a war zone (though it became that), but into a city populated by civilians. Imagine President Truman ordering the use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima but with the caveat of not killing any civilians. Even if one believes that Truman made the wrong choice, one has to recognize that thousands of Japanese civilians were already dying in the American bombing of Japanese cities and that many thousands of American soldiers would have died if Japan was invaded. So, one can argue that there was a clear and present danger to thousands of Americans and Japanese if the war continued to drag on and that less innocent life would be sacrificed by using what might be called the first weapon capable of killing cities. However, the same justification cannot be used for the invasion of Iraq since neither the Iraqi people nor the Iraqi government was a threat to the American people, only to the Iraqi people, but not as nearly the threat the U.S. military has proven to be. Since the Americans arrived in Iraq, every day there has been a 9/11 day.
And the same day Al Gore was announced as a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were getting the cold shoulder from Russian President Vladimir Putin because of the Bush Administration’s plan to develop missile defense bases in Poland and the Czech Republic. It is obvious that the Bush Administration’s obsession with warfare continues to undermine the world’s confidence in the sanity of the United States. Putin joked about militarizing the moon. Certainly, if that were possible, Bush and Cheney would have the U.S. military and Halliburton on the moon today. It was a sick joke, but since George Bush became president the world has been a sicker place.
If Al Gore is successful in getting the world to act to minimize the damage global warming will do to environments and economies, he will help minimize the violence, conflict, and general chaos that will most certainly plague many parts of the world. Even wealthy developed nations that now profit the most from producing greenhouse gasses will suffer as they are drawn into regional conflicts and have to defend their borders from millions of illegal immigrants fleeing degraded environments, failed economies, and ineffective and corrupt governments. Thus, developed nations such as the United States will benefit if Al Gore is successful in getting all the nations of the world to take the problem of global warming seriously enough to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses.
If George Bush’s efforts to use America’s weapon of mass destruction, the U.S. military, to bring freedom (the extreme form of which is chaos) to all of America’s enemies (a list that continues to grow), then we can expect to live in a world of unending suspicion, war, violence, and misery. If there were a Nobel War Prize, certainly George Bush would be a deserving recipient.
George Bush, on the other hand, delights in weapons of mass destruction even as denounces them. Certainly, the U.S. military is such a weapon, as has been demonstrated in its destruction of the nation of Iraq. It is significant that the day before Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize the U.S. military had killed nine children and six women northeast of Baghdad. Of course, the military does not intend to kill women and children, but that is the problem with weapons of mass destruction: they cause a lot of collateral death and damage. Interestingly, “collateral” means “additional but subordinate or secondary”; thus the death of women and children is acceptable as long as the primary goal of killing insurgent leaders is achieved.
I do not blame the military so much as I blame the Commander in Chief. He sent this greatest of weapons of mass destruction, the United States Military, not into a war zone (though it became that), but into a city populated by civilians. Imagine President Truman ordering the use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima but with the caveat of not killing any civilians. Even if one believes that Truman made the wrong choice, one has to recognize that thousands of Japanese civilians were already dying in the American bombing of Japanese cities and that many thousands of American soldiers would have died if Japan was invaded. So, one can argue that there was a clear and present danger to thousands of Americans and Japanese if the war continued to drag on and that less innocent life would be sacrificed by using what might be called the first weapon capable of killing cities. However, the same justification cannot be used for the invasion of Iraq since neither the Iraqi people nor the Iraqi government was a threat to the American people, only to the Iraqi people, but not as nearly the threat the U.S. military has proven to be. Since the Americans arrived in Iraq, every day there has been a 9/11 day.
And the same day Al Gore was announced as a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were getting the cold shoulder from Russian President Vladimir Putin because of the Bush Administration’s plan to develop missile defense bases in Poland and the Czech Republic. It is obvious that the Bush Administration’s obsession with warfare continues to undermine the world’s confidence in the sanity of the United States. Putin joked about militarizing the moon. Certainly, if that were possible, Bush and Cheney would have the U.S. military and Halliburton on the moon today. It was a sick joke, but since George Bush became president the world has been a sicker place.
