The Hive
This is another site I blog on. I am often a target of a few fellow bloggers who love to scream "bigot" "racist" "fascist" or whatever liberal babble they use when they know they can not defend their views logically or morally. As soon as these people see the word Christian or the topic of Illegal Immigration comes up they go into rabid attack mode. So I thought I would post a few of my responses here.
These two are in response to a blogger who devalues the worth of American citizenship.....and does it with a twinkle in his eye......

The point you are missing is that it makes no difference why someone breaks the law; when they do they become criminals. As for you deflecting the issue on to me when you say, "What would I do" is nothing more than admitting that you are wrong on this issue. In your mythical world, you would let anybody who comes here illegally stay. Says a lot about your character; but then again, you are a wanna be politician.
Ok, I will play along a bit. If I and my family were starving, would I leave them alone, a thousand miles away, break into another country, expect all the bells and whisltes of a legal citizen and cry racism when someone called me a criminal? The answer is NO. It is called morals and ethics and it seems some can not grasp the concept.
And I will have to agree with you...Mexico is not the USA!
Legal citizenship is something people have fought and died for and for citizenship to be granted to people who have come here illegally is like crapping on their headstones. Total disrespect to those heroes.
You are misguided when you say what I would or would not do. I know what I would do and so does the Lord and what anyone else believes is their business.
As for spoiled? Why, because I am a legal citizen who bust his hump, pays taxes only to see illegal aliens killing off my government's social services? Spoiled because when I was a 14yr old kid I worked in a field picking baby's breath for a few dollars a week? Or worked summers for my dad? Spoiled because I don't expect cradle to grave care from Uncle Sam? Spoiled because I expect people to respect the laws of the land?
And how do you know that "most" illegals are good people? We don't have any information on them when they get here. Check the jail and prison populations. 30% of state and federal prisons are populated with illegal aliens. And even the well intentioned, good people who come here illegally are criminals and do not belong here. It is blatant disrespect to people who do come here legally and even more disrespectful to legal citizens and those who have fought and died creating and protecting the USA. To not recognize this can only be some form of a mental illness.

Robert E. Lee
This is a blog post from another site I post on. It is in response to some that don't realize the dep religous faith of some of our most notable historical figures.
This great man had a deep faith in Christ. I can understand how important his faith must have been to him......it was not random chance that he was the leader of the Confederate States.
http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/Lee_Religious_Views.htm
Robert E. Lee prayed for the end of slavery:
"The doctrines and miracles of our Savior have required nearly two thousand years to convert but a small portion of the human race, and even among Christian nations what gross errors still exist! While we see the course of the final abolition of human slavery is still onward, and give it the aid of our prayers, let us leave the progress as well as the results in the hands of Him who, chooses to work by slow influences, and with whom a thousand years are but as a single day." Excerpts from Robert E. Lee's Letter to President Pierce prior to the War
Robert E. Lee had a Heart for the Non-believers in his University
One morning, while the venerable Dr. White was passing General Lee's house, on his way to chapel, the general joined him, and they entered into conversation upon religious subjects. General Lee said little, but, just as they reached the college, stopped and remarked with great earnestness, his eyes filling with tears as he spoke: "I shall be disappointed, sir, I shall fail in the leading object that brought me here, unless the young men all become real Christians; and I wish you and others of your sacred profession to do all you can to accomplish this result." from Part 8, Chapter 19 of "A LIFE OF GEN. ROBERT E. LEE." BY JOHN ESTEN COOKE
Robert E. Lee Loved his Enemies
"One day last autumn the writer saw General Lee standing at his gate, talking pleasantly to an humbly-clad man, who seemed very much pleased at the cordial courtesy of the great chieftain, and turned off, evidently delighted, as we came up. After exchanging salutations, the general said, pointing to the retreating form, 'That is one of our old soldiers, who is in necessitous circumstances.' I took it for granted that it was some veteran Confederate, when the noble-hearted chieftain quietly added, 'He fought on the other side, but we must not think of that.' I afterward ascertained--not from General Lee, for he never alluded to his charities--that he had not only spoken kindly to this 'old soldier' who had 'fought on the other side,' but had sent him on his way rejoicing in a liberal contribution to his necessities." from Part 8, Chapter 19 of "A LIFE OF GEN. ROBERT E. LEE." BY JOHN ESTEN COOKE

John Adam's Day of Fasting
It is hard to believe we as a nation have allowed some to push the nation so far from our Father. John Adam's was an amazing man who understood the importance of our nation's faith in our Creator.

Proclamation of Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer (March 23, 1798)John Adams
Transcript
As the safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and essentially depend on the protection and the blessing of Almighty God, and the national acknowledgment of this truth is not only an indispensable duty which the people owe to Him, but a duty whose natural influence is favorable to the promotion of that morality and piety without which social happiness can not exist nor the blessings of a free government be enjoyed; and as this duty, at all times incumbent, is so especially in seasons of difficulty or of danger, when existing or threatening calamities, the just judgments of God against prevalent iniquity, are a loud call to repentance and reformation; and as the United States of America are at present placed in a hazardous and afflictive situation by the unfriendly disposition, conduct, and demands of a foreign power, evinced by repeated refusals to receive our messengers of reconciliation and peace, by depredation on our commerce, and the infliction of injuries on very many of our fellow-citizens while engaged in their lawful business on the seas--under these considerations it has appeared to me that the duty of imploring the mercy and benediction of Heaven on our country demands at this time a special attention from its inhabitants.
I have therefore thought fit to recommend, and I do hereby recommend, that Wednesday, the 9th day of May next, be observed throughout the United States as a day of solemn humiliation, fasting, and prayer; that the citizens of these States, abstaining on that day from their customary worldly occupations, offer their devout addresses to the Father of Mercies agreeably to those forms or methods which they have severally adopted as the most suitable and becoming; that all religious congregations do, with the deepest humility, acknowledge before God the manifold sins and transgressions with which we are justly chargeable as individuals and as a nation, beseeching Him at the same time, of His infinite grace, through the Redeemer of the World, freely to remit all our offenses, and to incline us by His Holy Spirit to that sincere repentance and reformation which may afford us reason to hope for his inestimable favor and heavenly benediction; that it be made the subject of particular and earnest supplication that our country may be protected from all the dangers which threaten it; that our civil and religious privileges may be preserved inviolate and perpetuated to the latest generations; that our public councils and magistrates may be especially enlightened and directed at this critical period; that the American people may be united in those bonds of amity and mutual confidence and inspired with that vigor and fortitude by which they have in times past been so highly distinguished and by which they have obtained such invaluable advantages; that the health of the inhabitants of our land may be preserved, and their agriculture, commerce, fisheries, arts, and manufactures be blessed and prospered; that the principles of genuine piety and sound morality may influence the minds and govern the lives of every description of our citizens, and that the blessings of peace, freedom, and pure religion may be speedily extended to all the nations of the earth.
And finally, I recommend that on the said day the duties of humiliation and prayer be accompanied by fervent thanksgiving to the Bestower of Every Good Gift, not only for His having hitherto protected and preserved the people of these United States in the independent enjoyment of their religious and civil freedom, but also for having prospered them in a wonderful progress of population, and for conferring on them many and great favors conducive to the happiness and prosperity of a nation.
Given under my hand and the seal of the United States of America, at Philadelphia, this 23d day of March, A. D. 1798, and of the Independence of the said States the twenty-second.

Get Smart! Get A Ticket
I am not one for movie reviews, but after seeing Get Smart tonight, here I go.
Off the charts funny. The original creators had their hand in this movie and it showed; Buck Henry and Mel Brooks. It was true to the original t.v. show, which is still an all time classic. From the Cone of Silence to "Missed it by that much." Agent 99, 13 and Jaime.
It was fun, had comic, slapstick violence, and just a few off color words, which added nothing to the movie. And yes, there will be a second one made. There is a scene with the Chief and the head of the CIA at a DHS meeting that is funny.
In my humble opinion....best movie I have watched in years. But then again, It is only about the third one I have seen in as many years.

Our Country...Our Laws
Mexico has gone to the world court in an attempt to block executions of their citizens who have been found guilty and sentenced to death in America's courts.
Tough, these people willing broke our laws from the time they crossed the border. Innocent people are dead and this is American turf. If you don't want "your" citizens punished, how about keeping them on your side of the fence? Sorry, but you don't get to pick and choose how our laws work.
Also, don't forget El Jorge Bush backed Mexico and the world court. Tells you a lot about his priorites.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5845840.html
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Mexico made an emergency appeal to the U.N.'s highest court today to block the execution of its citizens on death row in the U.S.
Mexico's chief advocate Juan Manuel Gomez-Robledo said the U.S. was "in breach of its international obligations" by disregarding a 2004 judgment by the U.N.'s International Court of Justice, which ruled that Mexicans had been denied the right to help from their consulate after being arrested.
Gomez-Robledo said that without urgent action now, five Mexican citizens "will be executed before the conclusion of these proceedings."
The issue went to the Supreme Court, which ruled last March in a 6-3 vote that Bush lacked the authority to compel state courts to comply with the judgment from The Hague. The Vienna Convention cannot be binding on the states unless Congress enacts legislation enforcing it as federal law, the Supreme Court ruled.
Mexico argues that international law applies not only to the U.S. but also to individual states.
"The United States cannot invoke municipal law as justification for failure to perform its international legal obligations," it said in its application to the court two weeks ago.

Dr. Dobson....A Good Guy
But those who hate moral absolutes, who do not believe in sin will tell you otherwise. He is not a pastor or theologian. He is often attacked because he is a stuanch supporter of children and marriage. Of course, to some, killing babies is acceptable. I have listened to his radio shows for years and I have never once heard him say anything hateful about anyone. He does, however, believe in Jesus Christ and that the Bible is the word of God. And for that, just as God predicted, he would be attacked.
Barry Obama does not follow the words of the Bible. He is pro infanticide, anti marriage and a Marxist. He compared Dr. Dobson to Al Sharpton. And Dr. Dobson had never attacked Barry. Barry was spewing to his Kool Aid drinking fans. He was speaking off the top of his head, which reveals the hateful man he is.
Here is Dr. Dobson's Focus on the Family homepage.

as far as i knowclubJWP Says:
as far as i know prescription drug addiction as an illness, expecting the sober ones to support the addicts, clean up their messes and be supportive and uplifting at the same time. Unfortunately, this kind of attitude is denial of the problem. If our sober loved ones follow this thinking, they are actually enabling us to continue in this self-destructive behavior. What causes addiction is a sense that something is missing from our lives...a need for something more. This emptiness drives us to abuse substances to try to fill the void, but, since they only dull the feeling of emptiness, we grow more deeply addicted with every dose.

The Family Obama
Seems like BHO has a new found hobby, People Tossing. Sounds like his half brother just became a speed bump for the BHO Bus Lines.

Apparently Malik Obama, himself a Muslim, had not read the press release. Melanie Phillips is the most recent commentator to draw attention to the massive body of evidence that leaves no doubt that Barak Hussein Obama was born a Muslim (Islam is patrilineal) and raised a Muslim (so registered in school, acknowledging attending Islamic classes, reported accompanying his step-father to the mosque, and able to recite the Koran in the original Arabic).
Obama's Justice is not Color Blind
Good ol' Barry being his racist self. If you commit a crime while you are in a gang Barry, you are a criminal regardless of your skin color.
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/obamas-crime-votes-are-fodder-for-rivals-2007-03-13.html
In 1998, Obama was one of only three senators to vote against a proposal making it a criminal offense for convicts on probation or on bail to have contact with a street gang. In 2001, Obama voted against a measure that would have expanded the penalties for some gang activity to include the death penalty. The bill was vetoed by then-Gov. George Ryan (R ) not long after he had issued a moratorium on the death penalty in the state.Obama, at the time, said the bill would unfairly target minorities, stating, “There’s a strong overlap between gang affiliation and young men of color … I think it’s problematic for them to be singled out as more likely to receive the death penalty for carrying out certain acts than are others who do the same thing.”Obama opposes the death penalty except for terrorists, serial killers and child-murderers, but his campaign added that he does not support the death penalty as it is currently administered in this country.

Armstrong Williams and Racism
If a person votes for a candidate solely because of the color of their skin what does that say about the person? Armstrong Williams brings up this issue when he states;
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-06-14-black-republicans_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip&POE=click-refer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Black conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams has never voted for a Democrat for president. That could change this year with Barack Obama as the Democratic Party's nominee.
"I don't necessarily like his policies; I don't like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it," Williams said. "I can honestly say I have no idea who I'm going to pull that lever for in November. And to me, that's incredible."
Yeah, it is incredibly the level of ignorance in some people.
Even a politico I like, J.C. Watts, has bought into this line of thinking.
J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the Republican House leadership, said he is thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he is still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.
Watts is a fool on this topic. Reaches out to his community? Sounds more like building political power by misleading people and keeping them chained to entitlements.
At least Mike Steele is a rational guy.
Michael Steele, the Republican former lieutenant governor of Maryland who lost a Senate race there in 2006, said he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that "come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him." Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.
"I think people who try to put this sort of messianic mantle on Barack's nomination are a little bit misguided," he said.
Just let some democrat white guy make this statement. "I am voting for Jmac because he is white, I don't like his ideas, but he is white."
