Proof Of Neglect From On High?

If you ever needed proof that the Federal Government is not interested in solving the illegal immigration mess, just read this.

I was not aware that the Social Security Administration tracked the validity of SSNs to W-2.

But they do. And every year about a million numbers get set aside in a pile for “further investigation” which never takes place.

Technically, every company hiring employees submits the W-2 info to the SSA. This data then somehow makes its way to the IRS. But if the number is bad, someone should be following up with the company to find out why and get it corrected. However, no one does.

You see where this is going, right? Companies know nothing happens so they hire illegals knowing their numbers are not good and further knowing no one will do anything about it.

But how about companies that have over 30,000 bad numbers per year? You can also see what’s going on here, too, right? One company? 30,000 bad numbers?!?!?!?!?!

Meanwhile, the Feds have this “bad company” data and do nothing. And illegals keep getting hired and stay in the US.

This one will piss you off. Especially when you get to the part about sharing this data between agencies and how everyone is running scared and not trying to violate any illegals’ rights.

The Ludicrousness Of Mass Transit

In Hernando County the moron county commissioners decided to start a bus system. Our county encompasses over 440 square miles---NOT a small county!! We also have less than 170,000 people living here. Do the math on density yourselves.

When riders increased to 200 per day they crowed how well it was working. And then added more busses. So far we have 4 busses running from about 7 in the morning to 6 at night or so. Also do the math on that one: busses, maintenance, garage space, drivers, substitute drivers, gasoline, pensions, salaries, health care costs, etc. With about 250 riders a day at about $0.50 each................hmmmm, quite a deficit, huh? One day’s ridership does not pay the salary and associated costs of ONE driver; much less the other three and associated related costs.

So in effect, for a county of less than 170,000 we pay over $100,000 from county tax dollars plus almost a million per year from federal dollars (still OUR tax dollars) so that about 130 DIFFERENT/UNIQUE people (assuming most go round trip) can take a bus!!!

Fuck! It’d be cheaper to buy these bastards a car and be done with it.

AAAARRGGHH!!!

Along those lines read what a novel proposal P.J. O’Rourke has for solving mass transit ridership problems (it’s towards the end!)

How Well Do You Know Squeezy Perfumey?

The other day I posted about a great opportunity the Republicans had for increasing their numbers in the US Senate in 2006 given the retirement of Sarbanes.

I also mentioned that Squeezy Perfumey would run on the Dummycrap ticket.

Want to know more about him?

Why Won’t We Ever Learn?

Here we have 82% of American people saying they want a straight “up or down” vote on judicial nominees and we have media-hog dummycraps blustering about how they will stall all business on the senate floor if the Republicans go “nuclear” on any effort by the Donks to filibuster judicial nominees.

Well, if it takes stopping the senate from doing business, that is a good thing. These assholes already pass enough bad bills as it is. Having them stalemated is good.

But, going back to the title of this post, we never seem to learn, do we? Why do we keep re-electing these moonbats? They don’t listen to the electorate, they get in their Ivory Towers and think they can do whatever they want--especially if it is to the detriment of the nation.

One last thing: caveat emptor. I have not been able to find the poll questions for this poll nor the range of people called.

The Supreme Court Gets ‘Borked’

Do you remember a judge named Robert H. Bork. Sure you do. His last name entered our vocabulary as a synonym for a process of allowing partisan politics to keep good men off the Supreme Court. Here’s a refresher course from his bio for those who slept through the 1980’s: In 1987, President Ronald Reagan nominated him for associate justice. While universally acknowledged as an accomplished scholar, lawyer and judge, his nomination became a battleground for American culture wars over the meaning of the Constitution. Then-Chief Justice Warren Burger said of Bork, “I do not think in more than 50 years since I was in law school that there has ever been a nomination of a man or woman any better qualified than Judge Bork.” The (Democratic-controlled) Senate ultimately voted against confirmation, and Bork’s failed nomination became a synonym for the infiltration of highly partisan ideological politics in the judicial selection process.

Judge Bork is currently a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, professor at Ave Maria Law School, and visiting professor at the University of Richmond Law School. He has written an excellent editorial for The National Review (requires subscription) about the Supreme Court’s recent decision to prohibit the death penalty for those under the age of 18. In the process he raises some very interesting questions and takes Justice Kennedy to task for his “international guidelines” argument. Since not all of you subscribe to The National Review (what a shame), I am posting this excellent article here in its entirety. Here is an excerpt that makes an interesting point ....

Retribution was discounted on the theory that young killers, apparently without exception, are less culpable than presumably more thoughtful adult murderers. This from a Court that finds teenage girls sufficiently mature to decide on abortion without parental knowledge or consent?

See More Below The Fold

Travesty Time, Again
In its death-penalty decision, the Supreme Court hits a new low

ROBERT H. BORK

There are plenty of reasons to deplore Roper v. Simmons, the Supreme Court’s decision that a murderer under the age of 18 when he committed his crime cannot be given the death penalty. The Court majority once more exhibited for all to see that dazzling combination of lawlessness and moral presumption which increasingly characterizes its Bill of Rights jurisprudence.

The opinion starts unpromisingly, informing us that by “protecting even those convicted of heinous crimes, the Eighth Amendment reaffirms the duty of the government to respect the dignity of all persons.” Readers may wonder about the dignity of the victim. Christopher Simmons, then 17, discussed with two companions his desire to murder someone, saying they could “get away with it” because they were minors. He and a juvenile confederate broke into the house of Shirley Crook, covered her eyes and mouth, and bound her hands with duct tape. They drove her to a state park, walked her onto a bridge, tied her hands and feet together with electrical wire, completely covered her whole face with duct tape, and threw her into the Meramec River, where, helpless, she drowned. Simmons bragged about the killing to friends, telling them he had killed a woman “because the bitch seen my face.” Arrested, he confessed, and was sentenced to death.

The Supreme Court, though conceding that retribution and deterrence are valid functions of the death penalty, intoned that “we have established the propriety and affirmed the necessity of referring to ‘the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society’ to determine which punishments are so disproportionate as to be cruel and unusual.” That means the justices’ views evolve, which is, by definition, progress. Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion attempted to mask this unpalatable reality by claiming that the meaning of the Eighth Amendment had changed owing to a new “national consensus” against executing under-18 killers. This assertion of a “national consensus,” however, was derived from the example of just 18 states that had faced the issue of granting an exemption to juvenile murderers out of the 38 with the death penalty. This dubious escalator means that the founders who allowed such punishments fall well short of our superior understanding of decency, as do the 20 states that today permit the execution of those younger than 18. In Simmons’s case, it took the Missouri legislature, the governor, a unanimous jury, and a judge to bring him to death row. All now stand branded, five to four, as morally indecent. The majority did not, and could not, explain why any state is forbidden to make a policy choice — denied its constitutional sovereignty — because other states disagree with it.

Trying its hand at psychology, the Roper majority argued that neither deterrence nor retribution supported the death penalty for killers under the age of 18. As for deterrence, the Court said, the likelihood that teenagers engage in cost-benefit analysis that attaches any weight to the possibility of execution is so remote as to be virtually non-existent. This in a case where the murderer counted on his minority to “get away with it.” This from a Court that finds teenage girls sufficiently mature to decide on abortion without parental knowledge or consent. Retribution was discounted on the theory that young killers, apparently without exception, are less culpable than presumably more thoughtful adult murderers. The Court ignored the fact that juries, unlike the Court, do not decide such issues categorically but by evaluation of the individual and must take youth into account as one mitigating factor.

Retribution was also ruled out without considering its indispensable role in the criminal-justice system. The mixture of reprobation and expiation in retribution is sometimes required as a dramatic mark of our sense of great evil and to reinforce our respect for ourselves and the dignity of others. None of this was examined by the Court. Its steady piecemeal restriction of the death penalty — now “reserved for a narrow category of crimes and offenders” — suggests that the Court is on a path to abolish capital punishment altogether even though the Constitution four times explicitly assumes its legitimacy.

The most ominous aspect of Roper, however, is the Court majority’s reliance upon foreign decisions and unratified treaties. The opinion cited “the stark reality that the United States is the only country in the world that continues to give official sanction to the juvenile death penalty,” a fact the Court found “instructive” in interpreting the American Constitution. Since the nations of Europe have, among others, abolished the death penalty, the Court seems to be suggesting that we (or rather the justices) should do likewise. After all, “[w]e have previously recognized the relevance of the views of the international community in determining whether a punishment is cruel and unusual.” If the meaning of a document over 200 years old can be affected by the current state of world opinion, James Madison and his colleagues labored in vain.

Article 37 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, we are reminded, expressly prohibits capital punishment for those under 18. The United States — almost uniquely among countries — did not ratify it. Indeed, this country has never accepted any international covenant containing the prohibition in Article 37. “In sum, it is fair to say that the United States now stands alone in a world that has turned its face against the juvenile death penalty.” To accept such covenants would, of course, be attempting to alter our Constitution by treaty. Perhaps that is why the Court hedged: “The opinion of the world community, while not controlling our outcome, does provide respected and significant confirmation for our own conclusions.” This “underscores the centrality of those same rights within our own heritage of freedom.” That comes pretty close to accepting foreign control of the American Constitution.

What is really alarming about Roper and other cases citing foreign law (six justices now engage in that practice) is that the Court, in tacit coordination with foreign courts, is moving toward a global bill of rights. Neither our courts nor the foreign courts are bound by actual constitutions. Prof. Lino Graglia was quite right when he said that “the first and most important thing to know about American constitutional law is that it has virtually nothing to do with the Constitution.” That is certainly the case with the Bill of Rights. From abortion to homosexual sodomy, from religion to political speech and pornography, from capital punishment to discrimination on the basis of race and sex, the Court is steadily remaking American political, social, and cultural life. As Justice Antonin Scalia once said in dissent, “Day by day, case by case, [the Court] is busy designing a Constitution for a country I do not recognize.”

The courts of the United Kingdom, Canada, Israel, and almost all Western countries are doing the same thing, replacing the meaning of their charters with their own preferences. Nor are these judicial alterations random. The culture war evident in the United States is being waged internationally, both within individual nations and in international institutions and tribunals. It is a war for dominance between two moral visions of the future. One is the liberal-elite preference for radical personal autonomy and the other is the general public’s desire for some greater degree of community and social authority. Elite views are fairly uniform across national boundaries, and since American and foreign judges belong to elites and respond to elite views, judge-made constitutions tend to converge. It hardly matters what particular constitutions say or were understood to mean by those who adopted them.

Judges are not, of course, the only forces for a new elite global morality. Governments and non-governmental organizations are actively promoting treaties, conventions, and new institutions (the International Criminal Court, for example) that embody their view that sovereignty and nation-states are outmoded and that we must move toward regional or even global governance. American self-government and sovereignty would be submerged in a web of international regulations. The Supreme Court, in decisions like Roper, adds constitutional law to the web. That is the one strand, given our current acceptance of judicial supremacy, that cannot be rejected democratically. What is clear is that foreign elites understand the importance of having the Supreme Court on their side, which is precisely why their human-rights organizations have begun filing amicus briefs urging our Supreme Court to adopt the foreign, elite view of the American Constitution.

Roper is one more reason that it is urgent that the president nominate and battle for justices who will rein in a Court run amok.

What Went Wrong?

Flashback

Back in 1971, before the start of World War IV against the Arabs, the price of a gallon of gasoline was about 30¢ per gallon. Now, prices at the pump have climbed over $3 per gallon, an increase of ten times. Also, back in 1971, I was fresh out of college and earning about $16K per year. Nowadays, I am earning ........ HEY WAIT A MINUTE! My salary hasn’t increased ten times over. What is going on here? I demand an answer from Congress and Exxon today. Inflation, my ass! Somebody is ripping me off here!

And while we’re on the subject, why is it that back in 1971, I didn’t need insurance to buy a $35 bottle of anitbiotic pills but today, even with insurance coverage, I have to pay a $20 co-pay (and a $230 monthly insurance premium) and without insurance I have to pay $200 for that same bottle of antibiotic pills?

In addition, back in 1971 a “Mexican” was some foreigners who got their asses kicked at the Alamo. Nowadays, a “Mexican” is that family down the street who pays no taxes, drives an uninsured car, collects welfare, gets free medical care and has a meth lab in the back yard? Would somebody please tell me where all this went wrong?

Irish Legend

The Roman Empire had Julius Caesar, the Spanish had El Cid, the French had Charlemagne and the English had King Arthur. All legends in their own time and they still live down through the ages.

What legendary heros did Ireland have?

Well, Ireland had the best of them all (long before the other imitators named above came along), a mighty warrior named .... Finn MacCool. Finn’s legend dates back to the Third Century BC and there is quite a bit of evidence that the legend is based on the life of a real, early Celtic warrior. And as far as legends go, it doesn’t get any better than this ....

One day, Finn grows angry when he hears that a Scottish giant is mocking his fighting ability. He throws a rock across the Irish Sea to Scotland; the rock includes a challenge to the giant. The Scottish giant quickly throws a message in a rock back to Finn, stating he can’t take up the challenge because he can’t swim to reach Ireland. Finn doesn’t let the Scottish giant off so easily. He tears down great pieces of volcanic rock that lay near the coast and stands the pieces upright, making them into pillars that form a causeway that stretches from Ireland to Scotland. The giant now has to accept the challenge. He comes to Finn’s house. Finn, masquerading as a 18-foot baby, bites the Scottish giant’s hand and then chases him back to Scotland, flinging huge lumps of earth after him. One of the large holes he creates fills with water and becomes Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland. One large lump of earth misses the giant and falls into the Irish Sea; this lump is now known as the Isle of Man.

Now that’s quite a bit of blarney, isn’t it. Fortunately, Morgan Llywelyn, one of the best modern Irish fiction writers has written an excellent account of Finn’s life for those who like hard-charging and hard-loving warriors and their legendary exploits. Get “Finn MacCool” at Amazon.

Media Distortions and ANWR

If you’ve followed this ANWR drilling drama long enough you also realize that the enviro-wacko, granola munching, Birkenstock wearing, patchouli smelling, tree hugging, Gaia loving, long haired, dope smoking crowd will show you pictures like this of ANWR:

Those of us passingly familiar with the area know better especially as it relates to what it looks like where the drilling will take place.

It looks more like this:

So when I saw this headline: ”Alaskans Wary of Vote on Oil Drilling” I was naturally curious.

Wanna bet which picture was shown for the story?

Go on, guess!!!!

And, OBTW, this is what the village that’s SO CONCERNED looks like:

Oh, and one more OBTW: recall the title of the news article. Read it. Is it just me or did you also NOT find much reference to this “concern?” And why was it titled, “Alaskans” implying the whole state when they were referring to the 284 (yep, grand total: 284) residents?

Democrats Are Fit To Be Tied

Can you imagine how much it must suck to be a democrat/liberal/socialist America hater right now?

Here we go. As the great poet What’s-his-name said, “Let me count the ways.”

--They lost Congress beginning in 1994

--They were forced kicking and screaming into welfare reform

--They lost the Presidency in 2000

--They lost even more seats in Congress between 1996 and 2004

--After reveling in the economic devastation wrought by corporate abuses, the tech bubble, and 9-11 with the hopes of finally being able to win more seats because the economy was so awful, they lost again when the President got his tax cut packages approved

--Drooling at the prospect of a complete meltdown in the economy because of the war in Iraq and siding with the rest of the world in condemning our actions there, again they were kicked to the curb when Afghanistan had its FIRST free election EVER followed shortly by Iraq’s elections

--They saw Libya all of a sudden start paying attention to what was going on and hated the prospect of the Bush doctrine actually working

--They are furious that North Korea is now beginning to understand what may happen to them

--They saw the beginnings of women’s rights to vote in Saudi Arabia

--They lost the opportunity for their hero, Bill Clinton, to get his legacy when Arafat died and now Israel and the PLO may actually make peace (under Bush’s watch)

--They saw the Lebanese demand the Syrians get the hell out of their country

--They are witnessing a movement to forever change social security

--They fled in droves to psychiatrists and counselors when their candidate, John F**ling Kerry (you know, that asshole from Massachusetts who in Vietnam?) lost to Bush in 2004. Some fled the country. Others killed themselves. (not enough of them in my estimation)

--They are “foaming at the mouth” mad that Bush’s domestic policies and tax cuts have made his presidency the one in which the highest percentage of Americans now own homes, that home values are increasing, that construction is high, and that the economy is growing while adding jobs (just as he said those tax cuts would do)

--They are pissed off that ANWR just passed in the senate

--They can’t stand the fact that Condi Rice is SecState AND well-liked

--We appointed John Bolton to be our Ambassador to the UN

--and lastly, to rub salt into the wounds of the nanny staters, President Bush appointed Paul Wolfowitz to head the World Bank!

(did I miss any?)

BWAH HA HA HA!

It must SUCK to be a liberal, bed-wetting, commie loving, America hating pinko Democrat right now.

BWAH HA HA HA!

Speaking of Wolfowitz, check out these two pieces discussing how the Euro-peons and other riff-raff are annoyed. (here) and (here)

Cries of:

“They were supposed to consult us and there was no consultation.”

WAHH! WAHH!!

“This appointment will only serve to confirm suspicions that the World Bank is a tool of US foreign policy.”

Of course, you dumb bastard. You ARE a tool of our policy. Remember, we’re the 600 pound gorilla. Now, get on your knees and blow me, Euro-boy!

Or this:

“Privately, European officials in Washington and bank staff have expressed concern that the US would put forward such a controversial candidate for the post. One concern is that his appointment would make it more difficult for the World Bank to operate effectively in the Middle East.”

Mr Bush has put forward two men who have been the most passionate advocates for the view that if the US leads, the rest of the world will follow and fall into line.

Heheheheh, you’re damned straight! Now get in line!

“Along with the nomination of Bolton, the US is putting the biggest sceptics of multilateralism in charge.”

DUH!!! Anyone who’s ever tried to do anything by committee knows nothing gets done. If it does it is too little, too late. Only a forceful, powerful leader can get others to follow.

Like I said, it SUCKS to be a democrat.

A Poeme For Scott

With sincere apologies to John Masefield and his poem “Sea Fever” ....

I must go down to the bay again, to the place where I must die,
And all they ask is a tall tree and a rope to hang me by,
And of Laci’s kiss and Conor’s laugh I’ll never be partaking,
With a grim smile on my dead face, no more hearts will be a-breaking.

^{Scott Peterson is escorted by two San Mateo County Sheriff

deputies as he is walked from the jail to a waiting van

Thursday, March 17, 2005, in Redwood City, Calif.

Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:

Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
